Abstract A compact planar broadband multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna, which has a good performance under MIMO situations with low mutual coupling (<−11 dB) and low correlation coefficient (≤−15 dB) is presented. The antenna operates a very wide band with good impedance matching (S 11 <−10 dB), covering the LTE band 33–37 and 39–40. The elements are mounted on the same side of ground plane with the inter‐element space of 32 mm. The total size of the array is compact (50 mm × 67.2 mm × 0.254 mm), suitable for mobile handset applications. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
