Abstract
A compact four-element multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array based on the miniaturized mi-crostrip patch is presented. The reduction in array form factor is realized by partially populating the ground plane with elec-tromagnetic band gap (EBG) cells constructed from cross slots, in combination with reactively loading each patch with a slot. The resultant 2 × 2 array system demonstrates excellent inter-element isolation and can be easily fabricated using traditional milling and printing techniques, as it exploits a 2D layout that can be conveniently implemented on two sides of a single-layer substrate, without the need for any via structures. The operation of the array near the 2.5 GHz band is verified with full-wave simulations. The size of the new design is approximately 42% of that employing conventional patch elements.
