The proposed MIMO antenna element consists of a T-shape slot and a inverted U-shape microstrip feed line. The T-shape shot includes both open-ended and short-ended slots. Open-ended and short-ended slots are exploited to obtain two resonant modes, whose center frequencies can be adjusted by the slot lengths. The T-shape slot on the top layer is fed by a pair of differential microstrip lines by proximity coupling.

The first resonant frequency can be tuned from 1.36 GHz to 1.52 GHz while the second resonant frequency can be tuned from 2.12 GHz to 2.63 GHz, as shown by measured results. The achievable frequency ratio approximately remains unchanged within range of 1.56 to 1.73 over the whole tunable range.
