A low-profile and compact 3D antenna operating at LTE, GSM and UMTS frequency bands (790-2690 MHz) is proposed for a vehicular 2×2 MIMO system. The performance of the single 3D radiating element is here analyzed. Then, the two-antenna system performance is analyzed in terms of impedance matching, is...
