Abstract :
A dual-port slot strip antenna array for MIMO handheld devices is presented. This antenna array uses a T-shaped slot with changed widths to improve isolation between the two ports. The antenna has the combination of omni-directional radiation, high efficiency and compact size in an easy to fabricate structure. The experimental and simulated results validate the proposed design.
