Abstract

A printed crescent-shaped monopole MIMO antenna is presented for handheld wireless communication devices. The mutual coupling between the two antenna elements can be minimised by implementing a I-shaped common radiator. Both the simulated and measured results agree that the antenna covers the operating frequency band from 1.6 to 2.8 GHz with the return loss and isolation better than 10 dB and 14 dB respectively. To further verifying the MIMO characteristic including far-field, gain, radiation efficiency, channel capacity loss and envelope correlation, the results confirm that the antenna can operate effectively in a rich multipath environment.
