In this paper, we present the design and the evaluation of two MIMO antenna structures for LTE handsets. We first measure their scattering parameters and then we simulate their MIMO performance (channel capacity and Block Error Rate) in two different environments (channel models) with the help of the Agilent SystemVue Software.
