Abstract

Recently, the long-term evolution (LTE) is considered as one of the most promising 4th generation (4G) mobile standards to increase the capacity and speed of mobile handset networks [1]. In order to realize the LTE wireless communication system, the diversity and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems have been introduced [2]. In a MIMO mobile user terminal such as handset or USB dongle, at least two uncorrelated antennas should be placed within an extremely restricted space. This task becomes especially difficult when a MIMO planar antenna is designed for LTE band 13 (the corresponding wavelength is 390 mm). Due to the limited space available for antenna elements, the antennas are strongly coupled with each other and have narrow bandwidth.
