Abstract

An isolation improvement for a closely spaced quad port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for WLAN applications is presented. The proposed antenna consists of four L-shaped monopole microstrip patch antennas with a rectangular slot at the center and truncated edges at the corner of each patch element. Interelement isolation is improved by more than 12 dB by considering the patch size, ground size, and distance between the patch elements. The designed antenna uses λ/4 distance between the patch elements. The slot in each patch improves the bandwidth, and truncated edges at the corner of the patch improve the impedance matching of the antenna. The proposed MIMO antenna is designed with the overall dimensions of 45.5 mm × 45.5 mm × 1.96 mm. The MIMO parameters for the proposed technique, which include envelope correlation coefficient (E.C.C.) are less than 0.5, and the diversity gain (D.G.) is 10 dB, suggesting this antenna’s suitability for MIMO operations. The average peak realized gain (A.P.R.G.) and radiation efficiency (RE) is 2.8 dBi and greater than 80% for the prescribed band of interest. The antenna element is fabricated and tested using microwave analyzer N9917A. The measured result seems to be in good contact with the simulation. The proposed MIMO antenna is well-suitable for WLAN applications.
