A broadband multiple‐input multiple‐output antenna with a size of 60 × 120 × 1.6 mm is presented for the smart phones. Enhanced performance of the antenna is achieved by utilizing dual radiator chopping and ground plane slitting. Supplemental L‐shaped meandered ground structure over the top of radiator was added to enhance the performance in the lower frequency band. The proposed antenna covers two frequency bands for return loss <−6 dB, that is, 0.8–0.96 and 1.7–2.7 GHz, respectively, specified for mobile phone operation. The antenna is fabricated and measured results are obtained for return loss, isolation, envelope correlation, and radiation pattern. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
