Abstract
A compact planar multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna with four elements spanning the ultra-wideband (UWB) is proposed for diversity applications. The unit cells are positioned orthogonally to lower the mutual coupling by replicating the single antenna three times. A 35 × 35 × 1.6 mm3 UWB MIMO antenna is provided with a 50-Ω impedance microstrip line on a 1.6-mm thick FR4 substrate. In the radiator and ground plane, some modifications are made to achieve the operating limits of this antenna between the frequencies of 3.1-10.6 GHz, thereby covering the entire frequency spectrum of the UWB with compact size. We conclude from the calculated results that the proposed antenna has high performance characteristics appropriate for UWB wireless indoor communication and diversity applications with compact size.
