Abstract
A multimode collocated microstrip patch antenna with reduced mutual coupling is proposed in this paper. The antenna is designed to achieve polarization and pattern diversity for use in multiple- input-multiple-output (MIMO) terminals. The four-port antenna resonates at 2.45GHz and have total dimension of 1.03‚ with reduced mutual coupling (< i20dB) between its ports. It consists of a simple square patch and a square ring antenna, with a novel square ring slot defected ground structure (DGS). Square ring slot on ground improves isolation by 7dB by reducing surface waves in both E and H planes. With defected ground structure (DGS), coupling between patch and ring antennas is about i25dB and correlation factor is less than 0.1. Pattern diversity, mutual coupling and correlation coe-cient between signals for a four-port antenna fabricated using FR4 substrate is discussed in this paper.
