Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of multiple monopole antennas mounted on a card-type terminal, which is expected to be used in the systems beyond 3G, based on the calculated and measured radiation patterns for the 2.0GHz. We characterize the feasible performance of quarter-wavelength monopole antennas mounted on a card-type terminal in a multiple antenna configuration with narrow element spacing of less than a half-wavelength assuming that the antennas used must satisfy the space restrictions of the mobile terminal. Performance figures of merit for the multiple antenna performance include the beamforming gain, correlation coefficient, and MIMO channel capacity. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of a finite ground plane on the characteristics of multiple monopole antennas using a typical antenna configuration comprising a simple finite ground plane and multiple monopole antennas to discuss the fundamental characteristics.
