A triple band notch multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is designed and proposed with complementary-split-ring-resonators (CSRR) on upper side and defected ground structure on bottom portion of the FR4 substrate material. A square shaped radiating element with cone shaped microstrip line feeding is used in the current design to achieve 50-ohm impedance. A compact dimension of 36 Â 22 Â 1.6 mm is used to fit this model for portable communication devices. Split ring resonators are placed adjacent to the feed line to improve the gain and defected ground with stubs is placed to enhance the bandwidth characteristics. Proposed antenna has bandwidth ranging from 2 to18 GHz with notching at 5.2-5.8 GHz (WLAN), 11-12 GHz (Satellite Broadcasting) and 12.5-14.5 GHz (Aeronautical Radio Navigation). The envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is less than 0.005 and mutual coupling is less than 15dB achieved. The prototyped antenna is providing peak realized gain of 5dB and maximum efficiency of 75% in the operating band. The results strongly support the applicability of current antenna model with band notching in wideband communications.
