Abstract
In this paper, a compact MIMO terminal antenna employing Yagi-Uda arrays with common director elements is proposed. The Yagi-Uda array provides a high gain in the horizontal direction even when the array is arranged horizontally. The size of the proposed antenna is fairly small because the director elements are shared between two Yagi-Uda arrays that face each other and the length of the array is approximately half of two individual Yagi-Uda arrays.
