A novel compact Printed Inverted-F MIMO antenna operating at 5.8GHz for WiFi applications

In this paper, we propose a novel compact Printed Inverted-F MIMO Antenna operating at 5.8 GHz for WiFi applications. A fractal shape patch shorted at one end is used, which works to reduce the size of antenna. To further reduce the size of antenna, we extend an edge of patch towards the ground. In order to obtain high isolation, we use a PIFA with a ground plane. The simulation results show that the proposed antenna has good performance for WiFi applications.
