Abstract :
The Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) can be effectively used for the realization of both, multistandard antennas and multiport antenna systems on small terminal platforms. For multistandard applications simultaneous excitation of multiple modes is desired while multiport antenna systems for MIMO require the selective excitation of orthogonal modes. Both cases require different coupling strategies. Capacitive couplers enable the simultaneous excitation of modes while inductive coupling elements provide advantages with respect to the selective excitation.
