A novel CPW-fed dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with a common radiating element for WiMax/3.5G and WLAN/5.8G is proposed in this paper. The proposed MIMO antenna which has dimensions of 30 mm×30 mm×1.6 mm consists of an irregular ring-shaped ground plane and a shared radiating element. Furthermore, this MIMO antenna has a good performance in the port isolation by using a T-shaped structure and four slots on the ground. The measured bandwidths of the designed MIMO antenna are 3.32-3.74 GHz and 5.45-6.05 GHz. In the meantime, the measured isolation of the MIMO antenna is higher than 20 dB in both bands.
