Abstract

The support of MIMO communication in OFDMWLAN systems conforming to IEEE 802.11n standard requires the design and use of compact antennas and arrays with low correlation ports. In this paper, the design and analysis of a compact space-multimode diversity provisioning stacked circular microstrip patch uniform linear antenna array (SCP-ULA) for MIMO-OFDM WLAN systems and the associated spatial and modal correlation, ergodic spectral efficiency and compactness gains with respect to dipóle (DP-ULA) and circular microstrip patch uniform linear arrays (CP-ULA) with dominant-mode operation are presented. © 2009 IEEE.
