Abstract

This paper presents an ultra-wideband two element Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna with a band rejection structure. The structure reduces the mutual coupling between the two elements to provide efficient gain. A slot is etched on both the rectangular patches to provide a notch frequency of 6GHz. The resonance of proposed UWB MIMO antenna ranges from 3.2 GHz to 10.2 GHz beneficial for Wi-MAX applications.
