ABSTRACT
In general, an antenna ussualy have a ground plane following the antenna’s size. But in this final project there will be some change in ground plane size so that the antenna can work optimally. This final project progress is using the CST Studio Suite 2012 software, with doing some changes in the ground plane size using the same antenna.
The MIMO antennas that will be simulated have the best VSWR value at 1.127 with 60 MHz bandwidth, but if you change the ground plane size, that output value will be changed to a better or even worse value. The best result is show in the antenna that between the patch is not given ground plane. The frequency range in that design is 1,739 MHz- 1,797 MHz, which means that antenna have bandwidth 58 MHz with correlation coefficient 0.0030051.
