Abstract

A Compact wideband operating from 3 to 18 GHz MIMO antenna with quadruple notches is presented in this paper. The elements in MIMO configuration are arranged in orthogonal fashion with each other to minimize the coupling effects. The antenna consists of circular rings and a modified microstrip feed. By engraving a crescent shaped slot, split ring-shaped slot, circle shaped slot in the circular monopole, rectangular spiral shaped slot engraved along the feed line quadruple notches are attained. The antenna operates from 3 GHz to 18 GHz with notches in the range of 3.2 GHz-4.2 GHz centered at 3.5 GHz, 4.5 GHz-5.5 GHz centered at 4.9 GHz, 6.2 GHz-7.3 GHz centered at 6.6 GHz, and 8.1 GHz-8.8 GHz centered at 8.5 GHz. The element has a very compact size of 0.28λx0.22λx0.016λ at 3 GHz and is hence suitable for portable devices.
