A novel simple method of realizing four-branch switching diversity by a small two-element antenna array is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a two-element antenna array, a decoupling circuit and two phase-shifters. The proposed method reduces the circuit loss by decreasing the number of lumped elements and phase shifters compared with the conventional antenna. The decoupling circuit, which is composed of four susceptances, not only decreases the antenna coupling, but also makes the excitation amplitudes of the two antenna elements equal. By switching the phase shift of the phase shifters and switching two feeding ports, the excitation phase difference between the two antenna elements changes by every 90°, so that the four-branch switching diversity is realized. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed antenna, we design a small two-element folded inverted-L antenna array. The simulated and measured results show that the correlation coefficients between any two branches can be decreased. |
