description A multiband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system consisting of two antenna elements has been proposed for 4G USB dongle application. The designed MIMO antenna system with a compact volume of 25 mm × 30 mm × 3.5 mm operates in two zeroth-order resonance (ZOR) modes to cover the LTE band 13 (746–787 MHz), GSM850/900 (824–960 MHz), and LTE band 7 (2500–2690 MHz) simultaneously. A pair of L-shaped parasitic strips and an etching slot on the ground are employed to achieve good isolation between two elements. Measurement results show that proposed MIMO antenna system has total efficiency over 40% across the operation band and isolation less than −8 dB at the lower band and −16 dB at the upper band, respectively.
