Abstract

A novel Tri-band printed monopole antenna for multi input- multi output (MIMO) application is presented. A c-shaped printed monopole antenna resonates in two frequency bands, due to its two resonance paths. The tri-band antenna is obtained with etching a c-shaped slot on it, which has been used in a two elements MIMO structure. The proposed antenna provides three frequency bands for WLAN and WiMAX application, covering 2.4, 3.8 and 5.2 GHz. This structure provides low mutual coupling and envelope correlation. The antenna parameters and simulation results are presented.
