Abstract

Systems and methodologies are described that provide a low cost, compact and easily manufacturable multiple-input, multiple-output antenna structure suitable for portable radio equipment. Multiple antenna elements are printed on a folded flexible material. The flexible material expands when the antenna structure is deployed for operation and collapses when stowed.
