Abstract

In this work, a wide-band, planar, printed inverted-F antenna (PIFA) is proposed with multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna configuration. The MIMO antenna system consists of 4-elements operating at 2.1 GHz frequency band for 4G LTE applications. The proposed design is compact, low profile and suitable for wireless handheld devices. The MIMO antenna is fabricated on commercially available FR4 substrate with ϵ_r equal to 4.4. The dimensions of single element are 26×6 mm² with board volume equal to 100×60×0.8 mm³. Isolation is improved by 5 dB in the proposed design using ground slots. Characteristics mode analysis (CMA) is used to analyze the behaviour of the antenna system.
