Abstract :
In this paper a Tunable multi-band meander line printed monopole antenna for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system is presented. The proposed meander line monopole antenna can create a single resonance within the WLAN range. Placement of two resonance paths with length λg/2 vertical on it, leads to creating two extra resonances. The antenna parameters covering 2.4, 5.8 GHz for WLAN and 3.5 GHz for WiMAX application, are provided. A two element array of such antennas is suitable for MIMO applications. The array has sufficient radiation efficiency, peak gain, low envelope correlation, and omnidirectional pattern. Further, Simulation results are compared and discussed.
