Yes / In this work, a compact 4-element multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is presented for sub-6 GHz applications. A modified M-shaped strip is used to form each antenna element in the MIMO system. To improve performance, a rectangular-shaped area is etched on the opposite side of each element in the ground plane. The
antenna size is 100 × 60 mm2. Most interestingly, the port isolation is
improved by rotating the etched areas and the corresponding radiating elements. This one-of-a-kind approach aided in the development of a highly isolated MIMO antenna with a small footprint. The theory of characteristic modes (TCM) is used to analyze the behavior of rotating the etched areas in the ground of the antenna. The antenna
provides significant port isolation above 20 dB, stable radiation patterns, and an outstanding ECC of less than 0.01. The design is simple and compact, making it suitable for MIMO operation on handheld devices.
