A compact multi-band slotted circular patch MIMO antenna with defective ground surface for wireless application

A compact multi band slotted two elements MIMO antenna is designed on FR4 substrate with the dimensions 60×60×1.5 mm3 and an εr of 4.4. To achieve high isolation between the radiation elements, a Defected Ground Surface (DGS) technique is applied. The isolation between the elements and gain both increased considerably. In the simulated and measured return loss vs frequency results, multi bands are obtained. The maximum isolation is obtained as −36.32 dB at 8.8 GHz in the measured results.
