Abstract

The effective bandwidth of fundamental MIMO antennas (ideal MIMO Dipole and ideal MIMO monopole) are studied in this paper. The S11 bandwidth, total efficiency bandwidth and envelope correlation coefficient bandwidth are shown, and effects from antenna sizes, matching and decoupling networks are analyzed. Furthermore, the effective bandwidth of MIMO antennas is defined in this paper as the overlap part of above three bandwidths; it can show a comprehensive performance of the MIMO system.
