This paper presented a planar printed multiple-input-multiple-output MIMO antenna with a dimension of 100 x 45 mm2. It composed of two crescent shaped radiators placed symmetrically with respect to the ground plane. Neutralization line applied to suppress mutual coupling. The proposed antenna examined both theoretically and experimentally, which achieves an impedance bandwidth of 18.67% over 2.04-2.46 GHz with a reflection coefficient < -10 dB and mutual coupling minimization of < -20 dB. An evaluation of MIMO antennas is presented, with analysis of correlation coefficient, total active reflection coefficient TARC, capacity loss and channel capacity. These characteristics indicate that the proposed antenna suitable for some wireless applications.
