Abstract
The design of a compact two elements ultrawideband (UWB) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)
planar antenna is presented. It consists of two symmetrically
circular patch antenna components. The overall size of the
antenna is 30 × 60 × 1.6mm3 and is printed on the FR4 substrate.
The proposed antenna exhibits UWB qualities from 2.6 – 12GHz
with the isolation of less than 20dB. The total active reflection
coefficient (TARC), the data rate that can be supported in a
particular channel (CCL), and a factor that signifies higher
pattern diversity are presented, which are useful for portable
UWB applications.
