Abstract

In this letter, an eight-element Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for LTE mobile handset applications is proposed. The antenna array consists of eight 3D inverted F-shaped antennas (3D-IFA), and the measured –10 dB impedance bandwidth is 3.2–3.9 GHz which can cover the LTE bands 42 and 43 (3.4–3.8 GHz). By controlling the rotation of the antenna elements, no less than 10 dB isolation between antenna elements can be obtained. After using the specially designed meandered slots on the ground as decoupling structures, the measured isolation can be further improved to higher than 13 dB between the antenna elements at the whole operating band.

Keywords: MIMO; mobile handset; 3D-IFA; LTE; decoupling structure
