Yes / This study presents a wideband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for Wifi/WLAN/LTE applications. The antenna consists of two triangular patches as the radiating elements placed orthogonally to each other. Two T-slots and a rectangular slot were etched on the ground plane to improve return loss and isolation. The total dimension of the proposed antenna is 30 x 30 mm2. The antenna yields impedance bandwidth of 101.7% between 2.28 GHz up to 7 GHz with a reflection coefficient of < -10 dB, and mutual coupling of < -14 dB. The results including S-Parameters, MIMO characteristics with analysis of envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), total active reflection coefficient (TARC), capacity loss, channel capacity, VSWR, antenna gain and radiation patterns are evaluated. These characteristics indicate that the proposed antenna is suitable for MIMO wireless applications.
