Abstract
A high isolation dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna of two antenna elements is presented for WLAN and WiMAX applications. Each element consists of two meandering strips which locate at the top and bottom sides of the substrate respectively. The proposed MIMO antenna operates in the 2.45 GHz WLAN band and 3.55 GHz WiMAX band. And the antenna has high isolation over 2 dB in the two operation bands, which is obtained by the vertical structure, a neutralization line and a narrow slot between the two elements. The return loss and the isolation of the antenna are investigated simulation. The results show that the proposed MIMO antenna has high isolation and good impedance match characteristic, making it suitable for WLAN and WiMAX applications.
