This paper presents an innovative MIMO antenna system consisting of two broadband antennas combined with a 90° or 180° hybrid coupler. The antenna system is suitable for future MIMO systems due to its wide decoupled bandwidth (from 698 to 2700 MHz) covering 23 frequency bands of LTE. Enhanced antenna performance is achieved by radiator slitting and ground plane modification. Moreover, supplemental meandered line ground structures are utilized to miniaturize the antenna size. The low profile antenna with its wide impedance bandwidth, high efficiency, low correlation and quasi-omni directional radiation pattern is attractive for the existing and future 4G mobile communication devices. Simulated and measured results including input reflection, mutual coupling, correlation, and antenna efficiency is presented and analyzed.
