A Dual-Element Multi-band (DEMB)cleft based and skewed cleft based Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas are designed for Long Term Evolution Advanced(LTE-A)and Global positioning system (GPS) wireless applications. As part of Defected Ground plane Structure (DGS), a T-shaped structure is used in the ground plane with Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) and dual H-shaped slot is etched from it to improve the isolation between the antennas. The Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) obtained at both the cases is less than 0.0005. © 2015 IEEE.
