Abstract

In this letter, two different types of band-notch UWB-MIMO antennas are presented. the filtering effect can be achieved by integrating slot resonators to a UWB antenna. Both of the proposed antennas have very compact size and are smaller than most of the other band-notch UWB-MIMO antennas. The ultra-wideband is achieved by etching stepped slots on the ground. The band-notch characteristic can greatly reduce the potential interference between the UWB and WIMAX/WLAN system. Our proposed antennas can also possess a wide bandwidth from 3.3 GHz to 11 GHz with |S11| < -10 dB. Some effective measures have been taken and illustrated to reduce the isolation. Measurements demonstrate that the mutual coupling between the antenna elements is good enough for a MIMO system. Their stable radiation patterns are simulated, designed and measured successfully. The good performance and compact size make the antennas good candidates for UWB applications.
