| Summary: | In this paper, a Multiple Input Multiple Output (2x2MIMO) patch antenna for multiband
applications has been proposed. It has been designed using groups of rings nearby the stepped cut at four
corners of the patch and a separation in mid slot. This modification is proposed in order to increase the
resonant frequencies and reduce the mutual coupling. The proposed 2x2 MIMO patch antenna is
simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST), fabricated and tested. With such small
geometrical dimensions, the proposed antenna is suitable for LTE (1.8 GHz), WiFi (2.4 GHz), and WiMax
(3.5 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.5 GHz) applications.
