The shape of λ /4 Stub which is connected with the top of the ground plane is changed to reduce its physical size by bending and being burrowed into the ground plane. The MIMO antenna elements are well matched in the range of LTE 2300 (2300 ~ 2400 MHz) band and have a return loss under -6 dB (VSWR <; 3) also, the isolation is lower than -20 dB at the center frequency.

The ideal filtering characteristics is derived from the condition for realizing the PMC in all the frequency using the relational expression between the filtering characteristics of a FSS and the PMC characteristics of the AMC. As the result, it is clarified that the ideal filter is a band pass filter. It is also shown that the optimum distance h between a FSS and the ground plane is a quarter wavelengths at the band pass frequency. On the other hand, it is found that the phase rotation direction is opposite compared with the conventional band pass frequency. It is found that the ideal filtering characteristics can be realized by using negative index material.","PeriodicalId":342623,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129064905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
