New Configuration of Handset MIMO Antenna for LTE 700 Band Applications

A compact handset multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for long-term evolution (LTE) 700 band (746~787 MHz) applications is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two symmetrical PIFAs. Without the usage of any additional coupling elements between closely mounted antennas, a high isolation (>15 dB) and a low enveloped correlation coefficient () are achieved by the optimum location and arrangement of MIMO antenna elements.
