Abstract :
A study on the MIMO channel capacity of a modified dual-element planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) array is presented. The dual-element PIFA array consists of two modified PIFAs which are mounted on a small mobile terminal operating at 2.5 GHz. The relationship between mutual coupling and channel capacity is analysed by comparing the modified dual-element PIFA array with a conventional dual-element PIFA array and two ideal dipoles.
