Abstract

A hexaferrite slant and slot multiple-input multiple-output antenna with miniature antenna elements was simulated, fabricated, and characterized for antenna performance. Measured return loss and isolation were -33.9/-26.6 dB (for antenna 1/antenna 2) and -18.6 dB at 2.45 GHz, respectively. Measured bandwidth was 454/502 MHz at VSWR < 3. Correlation coefficient between antenna elements calculated from experimental S-parameters was less than 0.00085 between 2.4 and 2.5 GHz. Radiation efficiency of the antennas was measured to be 82% at 2.45 GHz. The antennas have two lobes, omnidirectional, and flower patterns for potential mobile device applications. Simulated and measured antenna performance was found to be in good agreement with each other.
