Abstract

In this paper, an integrated antenna system is presented which comprises of an annular slot-based frequency reconfigurable multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system along with two-element printed inverted F-shape (PIFA) MIMO antenna. The annular slots are performing dual functions. In addition to being a MIMO antenna, it is also utilized as isolation enhancement structure for the PIFA based MIMO antenna.The annular slot-based MIMO antenna is tuned though a frequency band ranging from 1.73 GHz to 2.28 GHz with a minimum bandwidth of 60MHz. The slots are made reconfigurable using reverse biased varactor diodes. The integrated MIMO antenna system is developed on an FR-4 substrate with dimensions 50×110×1.56 mm3. All the antenna elements are of compact size with a low profile and planar structure and is also suitable to used in wireless devices in second generation cognitive radio (CR) platforms.
