In this paper, we focus on antenna array design for mobile phone with finite volume and propose a novel antenna element structure by capacitive feeding and capacitive loading method based on the planar inverted F antenna (PIFA). State-of-the-art development on this issue is reviewed. Then, a novel capacitively fed and capacitively loaded PIFA structure is proposed and studied. The results of the experiments showed that our structure can reduce the coupling of antenna elements from -13.4 dB to -24.5 dB. Finally, a design with a bandwidth of 100 MHz centered at 2.35 GHz and envelopment correlation coefficient of 0.01 2 is provided and the diversity performance of the dual-element modified PIFA array is evaluated in both simulation and measurement. In a word, our novel design reaches broadband, miniaturization, high isolation and offers excellent diversity performance.
