Abstract :
A compact MIMO array suited for a PDA application at 1766 and 2450 MHz is presented. We chose a configuration which both maximizes the distance between the elements, and provides full polarization diversity. The performance of the array at 1766 MHz has been presented in terms of S-parameters, efficiency, calculated covariance and capacity. We conclude that the major difference between the proposed array and an ideal monopole reference array lies in the slightly lower radiation efficiency
