Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems are able to provide wireless
communications at increased data rates. These systems involve using a
plurality of antennas on both the transmitter and receiver and the
problem of how to accommodate such structures in user terminals, which
are often required to be hand held then arises. An antenna arrangement
which is suitable for MIMO communications and which can be incorporated
into a user terminal such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) is
described. A pair of co-polarised umbrella monopoles and a slot antenna
are incorporated into a flap which extends at approximately 90.degree. to
the body of the PDA. A fourth monopole is mounted and protrudes from the
PDA itself.
