1 Introduction
The MIMO technique in the present time is used considerably for wireless commu-
nication. It will be used in future technology because of its several benefits. MIMO
technology uses multiple antennas for wireless point [1]. MIMO technology plays
an important role in achieving high data level, and optimizing performance for most
advanced wireless communication network, a substantial improvement in channel
capacity may be accomplished without the need for extra bandwidth or more trans-
mitting power by installing such a MIMO system [2]. Ishimiya first identified and
demonstrated the principle of MIMO DRA [3]. In recent year, DRA have gained
a lot of interest due to their high efficiency, small size, easy excitation, and large
impedence bandwidth. DRA has also shown good performance in MIMO [4]. The
first candidate identified as the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) was cylindrical
dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) in 1983 [5]. The compact and multiband DRA
for mobile portable device for WiFi, LTE, and WiMAX available as two dielec-
tric resonator are used, but there are large ground size and high mutual coupling
value especially the higher band [6]. Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer
network that connects two or more computer used for wireless communication which
can establish a local area network (LAN) in a restricted area such as a home, school,
computer laboratory and office. The proposed 8-port diversity antenna is suitable for
WLAN application in the frequency range between 5.6 and 5.9 GHz [7]. WiMAX is
