Summary:
A compact planar multiband MIMO antenna system is developed. The MIMO antenna consists of two symmetric antenna elements, each of which comprises three effective radiators: a driven monopole, a meandered S- and F-shaped strip and all are printed on the front side of a thin low-cost substrate. At VSWR ? 2.75, the proposed MIMO antenna operates in the frequency range of LTE-1, LTE-2, LTE-3, LTE-7, LTE-40, and WLAN 2.4 GHz bands. The experimental results verify the simulations. Higher isolation (> 18 dB) is achieved. The received signals satisfy the condition Pi?Pj. The measured correlation coefficient is lower than 0.01 and radiation patterns of each antenna unit can cover complementary space region that confirms both the spatial and pattern diversity.
