A Diversity Antenna for MIMO Application

Abstract The Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is a vital study in today's Wireless communication system especially when the signal propagates through some corrupted environments. In our paper a new approach of a MIMO antenna is proposed. It is operated in the frequency band of 9.45 GHz. This antenna is suitable to counteract the fading effect caused by multipath propagation. In this design, four numbers of micro strip patch antenna have been placed in the four faces of a rectangular box as shown in the Fig. 1.
