Abstract
A compact multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is presented for ultrawideband (UWB) applications. The antenna consists of two open L-shaped slot (LS) antenna elements and a narrow slot on the ground plane. The antenna elements are placed perpendicularly to each other to obtain high isolation, and the narrow slot is added to reduce the mutual coupling of antenna elements in the low frequency band (3-4.5 GHz). The proposed MIMO antenna has a compact size of 32 ×32 mm 2 , and the antenna prototype is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the proposed antenna design achieves an impedance bandwidth of larger than 3.1-10.6 GHz, low mutual coupling of less than 15 dB, and a low envelope correlation coefficient of better than 0.02 across the frequency band, which are suitable for portable UWB applications.Keywords
