Compact Inkjet-Printed Flexible MIMO Antenna for UWB Applications

In this paper, a miniaturized fully inkjet-printed flexible multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for ultrawideband (UWB) application is proposed, occupying a compact size of $22 imes 31 imes 0.125$ mm3.In the proposed antenna, two half-planar radiators are introduced to minimize the antenna size.Moreover, a modified T-shaped stub is employ
