This letter reports on a compact planar dual-band Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna primarily consists of two meandered monopole radiators that are decoupled by introducing a folded Y-shape isolator element and it is shown that the edge coupling between the radiators and isolator introduces the resonance at the lower band. The miniaturization is achieved by passing the signal on to the bottom layer where a meandered line conductor introduces a broadside coupling with the radiator, originating the higher band resonance. The antenna operates between 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz and 5.45 GHz to 5.65 GHz with an isolation of more than 25 dB and 15 dB, respectively. The antenna measures only 19x23 mm^2.

Abstract
This letter reports on a compact planar dual-band Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications. The proposed antenna primarily consists of two meandered monopole radiators that are decoupled by introducing a folded Y-shape isolator element and it is shown that the edge coupling between the radiators and isolator introduces the resonance at the lower band. The miniaturization is achieved by passing the signal on to the bottom layer where a meandered line conductor introduces a broadside coupling with the radiator, originating the higher band resonance. The antenna operates between 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz and 5.45 GHz to 5.65 GHz with an isolation of more than 25 dB and 15 dB, respectively. The antenna measures only 19x23 mm^2.
