Abstract
A compact printed ultrawideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)/diversity antenna system (of two elements) with a size of 35 ?? 40 mm2 operating at a frequency range of 3.110.6 GHz is proposed. The wideband isolation can be achieved through a tree-like structure on the ground plane. The effectiveness of the tree-like structure is analyzed. Measured S-parameters show that the isolation is better than -16 dB (-20 dB in most of the band) across the UWB of 3.110.6 GHz. The radiation patterns, gain, and envelope correlation coefficient are also measured. The proposed antenna is suitable for some portable MIMO/diversity applications.
