Abstract
MIMO technology has been widely used for several years for the purpose of improving communication speed and communication capacity. However, if MIMO antenna is mounted closely, radiation efficiency and throughput of MIMO are decreased due to strong mutual coupling. In this paper, a decoupling method using meander branch antenna is proposed. It is confirmed that the mutual coupling is reduced and the radiation efficiency is increased by utilizing this method. Moreover, further developing this method, it is confirmed that a decoupling bandwidth can be enhanced.
