Diversity Characterization of a Wideband Multi-element Antenna for Indoor Wireless Communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a wideband three-element diversity antenna for compact wireless communication systems operating at the 4-6 GHz band. A series of experiments to characterize the diversity performance of the antenna for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) indoor multipath environments have been conducted. From these experiments, we calculate envelope correlation, power imbalance, and diversity gain. Results have shown that the proposed antenna structure provides good diversity gain for indoor wireless communication channels.

A novel multiband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed. The MIMO antenna system consists of two antenna elements, each of which comprises of three radiators: a driven monopole, an S-shaped strip and an inverted F-shaped strip and occupies footprint of 15x18.5x0.8 mm3 only. The driven monopole acts as a quarter-wave monopole and stimulate higher mode resonance. The tw...
