Abstract

Abstract : A planar printed multi‐input–multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna with pattern diversity is proposed. The two printed dipole‐like radiators have omnidirectional radiation patterns in the orthogonal planes. The antennas are printed on the opposite sides of a dielectric substrate, which makes it a compact MIMO system with excellent isolation between the antenna elements. With an external loaded capacitor, the MIMO antenna shows a wide frequency tunable range.
