A novel printed compact wide-band diversity antenna for mobile handsets is proposed in this paper. The antenna comprises two back-to-back G-shaped monopoles placed symmetrically with respect to a T-shaped and dual inverted-L-shaped ground plane. The measured results show that the proposed diversity antenna operates in a very wide bandwidth of 1200 MHz starting from 1700 MHz to 2900 MHz. In the above bands, the isolations of the prototype are better than -15 dB. The antenna can provide pattern diversity to combat multipath fading.
