Abstract
A planar multifunctional four-port antenna system integrated on one substrate applied in the suburban mobile tablet is presented in this paper. The types of these antennas are selected based on different functions and the interactions between them are analyzed and reduced. Two identical T-shaped printed monopole antennas are designed for the MIMO mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) application. The mutual coupling between the ports of these two MANET antennas is decreased by introducing a decoupling metal strip loaded with an inductor. Two horizontal printed dipoles with parasitic strips are developed to operate in the satellite navigation and communication frequency bands. Through the analysis of the interaction between the MANET antenna and satellite antennas, the satellite antennas with improved broadside radiation patterns are obtained. The performance stability of the proposed antenna system is verified by the investigation of the performances in different gestures. A prototype of the antenna system is fabricated and the measured results show that the proposed antenna system can cover the frequency bands of MANET communication, satellite navigation, and satellite communication with good performances. This proposed multifunctional antenna system is a good choice for the sub-urban mobile terminal systems.
