Abstract

A 26 × 25 mm² arbitrary-shaped antenna is constructed in this article, and it was expanded to 2 x 2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna. It has a range of 3.1 to 8.2 GHz. A T-shaped stub is employed in this instance to reduce the mutual coupling between the two ports. The effectiveness of the MIMO aerial is demonstrated using envelope correlation coefficient and radiation pattern. Additionally, it has been shown that simulated and measured results generally agree.
