We are looking for options for a MIMO antenna given our size constraints. Our enclosure is poly-carbonate. We have a little bit of room inside. We do not use GPS. We’ve tried a few “stick-on” antennas:

That want is plain too big, plus it requires an adapter
This one works good, but very long (wraps all around the outside of the enclosure):

This one is smaller, but I am suspicious because it only has one connector to the Notecard – it seems two would be required to benefit from MIMO:

Could someone please share suggestions?

For Wide Band with a diversity antenna, we’ve used

  • 2 Taoglas MFX3
    One connected to the “main” and one connected to “div” on the Notecard

  • Taoglas MA256
    which includes two cellular antennas and a GPS antenna
