Abstract

A key feature of upcoming 4G wireless communication standards is multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology. To make the best use of MIMO, the antenna correlation between adjacent antennas must be low (< 0.5). In this context, we propose a new correlation reduction technique suitable for closely spaced antennas (distance, d < /40). This technique reduces mutual coupling between antennas and concurrently uncorrelates the antennas' radiation characteristic by inducing negative group delay in the target frequency band. The validity of the technique is demonstrated with a USB dongle MIMO antenna designed for LTE 700MHz band. Measurement results show that the antenna correlation is reduced more than 37% using the proposed technique.
