A Compact Dual-Band MIMO Antenna for WLAN Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a compact dual-band MIMO antenna that is compatible to the IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standards. The MIMO antenna contains two tree-type elements placed back to back with distance of one-sixth wavelength of 2.4GHz; the element in the MIMO antenna is structured with a two-branch tree-type planar inverted-L monopoles, the lengths in both branches are set to the electrical quarter-wavelength of the frequency bands of 5.2GHz and 2.4GHz respectively. The MIMO antenna characterized by small size, low mutual coupling effect and nearly omni-directional coverage in radiation pattern make it entirely applicable to the mobile wireless network applications. The measurement results of the fabricated MIMO antenna demonstrate the success of the suggested design topologies.
