| Summary: | A four-element antenna array for a USB dongle
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna working in
dual 2.4/5.2 GHz frequency bands is presented. For achieving
reasonably low mutual coupling and good return loss
characteristics of the antenna array, the positions of the antenna
element are optimised within a compact low cost FR4 PCB
board with dimensions of 25 × 50 × 0.8mm3. The array is
evaluated as a MIMO antennas is presented, with analysis of the
mutual coupling, correlation coefficient, total active reflection
coefficient (TARC) and capacity loss. The proposed antenna
meets the requirements for practical application within a
wireless communications system. |
