Abstract :
A polarization diversity MIMO microstrip antenna array is designed to give a solution for a WiMAX base station antenna of wideband, dual slant plusmn45deg polarization, low cross polarization, high gain and isolation. The fabricated antenna with compact structure based on the design has gains of 12.3 dBi-14.81 dBi in the whole working band, isolation of 18 dB above, cross polarization less than -13.5 dB. Measured results show that they are in good agreement with the simulated ones.
