A tripolarized multiantenna made up of three compact orthogonal dipoles is proposed. The three dipoles' phase centers are compact within 1/6 wavelength so that the spatial fading condition of the multi input multi output (MIMO) channel in subwavelength scale can be discriminated in three orthogonal directions of polarization by the multiantenna. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
