A Wideband Zhong-shaped MIMO Antenna

This paper proposes a two-element wideband Zhong-shaped MIMO antenna. By optimizing the shape of the ground plate and other antenna structure dimensions, the designed Zhong-shaped multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna exhibits wide impedance bandwidth from 5.2-10.6 GHz (68.35%) with high isolation (S
21
<-15 dB). Moreover, the proposed MIMO antenna uses a character-shaped patch innovatively and provides wide impedance bandwidth, which promotes the antenna to extensive applications.
