Introduction
Multi-element multi-polarized antenna utilizes polarization diversity tomeasure EM fields in space in a multi-path environment.
There is a strong agreement on the advantages of using polarizationdiversity along with space diversity for wireless applications.
Such an antenna has plenty of potential for applications that involvewireless communications and sensing.

IntroductionFor wireless communications applications such as Multiple
Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems, there is analyticalevidence that an antenna that measures the full EM field mayincrease the capacity of transmission channel up to three foldsrelative to dual-polarized radio signals
For sensing applications, this type of antenna would improvethe estimation accuracy of the direction of arrival of the signal
from either one or two sources (Nehorai and Paldi, 1994)
In this work, we investigated the suggested antennageometries such as MIMO cube, Tripole Antenna utilizingpolarization diversity
We applied the ideas of the MIMO cube and of the TripoleAntenna by using loop antennas instead of dipoles.

Conclusion
Three independent channels are achieved with thisconfiguration, with extra three channels providing analternate multi-path channel in case of sever fading fororiginal channel.
Antennas have good radiation characteristics with Returnloss of 27dB or better.
Antennas have a good isolation between elements sinceantennas are not co-located with isolation of 14dB or better

Future work
The cube will be simulated with dipoles and loops toinvestigate the option of having six independent channelsinstead of three.
Some other dual-polarized antennas will be used as
antenna element.We are going to build the antenna and make somemeasurements.
The new antenna will be investigated for signalprocessing applications to confirm the validity of the sixindependent channels compared to a classical vectorantenna.
