Wideband Printed MIMO/Diversity Monopole Antenna for WiFi/WiMAX Applications
<01>A novel diversity antenna is presented for WiFi (802.11b/g) and WiMAX applications. It comprises two independent radiators with a ‘defected’ ground plane and a neutralization line between them to achieve good impedance matching and low mutual coupling. The antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth of 54.5% (over 2.4-4.2 GHz), with a reflection coefficient <-10 dB and mutual coupling <-17 dB. Good agreement is obtained between the computed and measured electromagnetic characteristics, plus the envelope correlation coefficient and channel capacity loss. The design is thus attractive either for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mobile devices or for diversity (redundant) wireless links
