Abstract
This paper presents a compact MIMO antenna for LTE 700, LTE 2300 and LTE 2500 applications. The antenna is configured by two symmetrical quarter wavelength meandered lines on the front side and a slotted ground plane at the back side. An decoupling patch is used to achieve good isolation between two symmetrical quarter wavelength meandered lines.
