Abstract
In this paper, a 4-element multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is presented. The antenna elements comprise of half circle shaped printed monopoles. The antenna is designed on an FR4 substrate of dimensions 110×60×0.8 mm3. The antenna operates in the 2.45 GHz band with a bandwidth of 250 MHz. The antenna maintains a minimum isolation of 11 dB between its elements in the operating band. The far-field results of the antenna show that each element has a peak gain of 3.57 dBi and a radiation efficiency of 92.5% at 2.45 GHz. The correlation coefficient is also calculated from the far-field results which shows that antenna has a maximum correlation coefficient of 0.2 in the operating band.
