Abstract A new type of closed square ring decoupling structure is proposed in this letter, which can effectively reduce the coupling of antennas. The designed antenna is composed of two elliptical monopoles and a common ground loaded with a broadband parasitic decoupling structure. Considering the impedance matching, each antenna element is changed from the original rectangular microstrip feed to a tapered microstrip feed and etched a circular slot on the elliptical monopole patch. By comparison with the original antenna without any decoupling structure, through loading the broadband decoupling structure on the ground, the antenna isolation is improved by 10 dB in most frequency bands. Comparing simulation and measurement results, the antenna achieves better than 25 dB isolation over the whole operating band (3.3–12 GHz). By manufacturing and testing the antenna designed in this article, the excellent performance parameters obtained also prove that the antenna can be used in portable devices.

This paper presents a Low-profile slot meander patch antennas. The antenna is a multiple communication bands for handheld devices and implements multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) technique. The proposed model covers LTE band-11 1.5 GHz Lower (1427.9 - 1452.9, 1475.9 - 1500.9), LTE band-2 PCS 1900 (1930 -1990, 1850 -1910), LTE band-7 2.6 GHz (2620-2690, 2500- 2570), and LTE band-22 3.5 GHz (3510-3590, 3410-3490) with dB matching criterion (VSWR 3:1). An isolation less than -15 dB has been obtained between two typical slot meander patch antennas. The isolation is achieved as a result of using CPW feeding mechanism and inserted CLL network isolator. This dual-feed (2-elements) planar antenna is fabricated and measured. The result of this small size structured MIMO antenna system shows a good radiation characteristics and small mutual coupling which is promising for MIMO applications in compact portable devices.

The ultra wide band (UWB) Multiple-Input- Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna with coplanar waveguide (CPW) having size of 18 x 23 x 0.8mm3 is designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The designed MIMO antenna contains two symmetrical circular disc loaded curved elliptical monopoles on top of the substrate and common ground plane with Y slot and extended T-shaped stub on bottom of substrate. The T- shape stub is placed on the ground plane to have the better antenna impedance matching and to enhance the isolation between the two antenna ports. To further improve the isolation in between the ports 1 and 2, and also on the ground plane a Y-shaped slot is fixed. Good impedance matching (|S11| < -10dB) in the range from 2.8GHz to 12 GHz is provided by the proposed antenna, and an enhanced isolation of -27dB, low ECC of below 0.002, an acceptable gain of about 7 dBi and an efficiency of above 90%. The obtained result proves that the designed antenna is more appropriate for the portable devices.
