\begin{abstract}
In this paper, a novel beam steerable 2.4 GHz MIMO antenna array is
proposed based on the Yagi-Uda principle. The antenna consists of two
co-axially excited patch radiators with modified ground plane. A
conducting strip with an integrated PIN diode is optimally placed
between the patch radiators to act as a director or a reflector to steer
the main beam by an angle of +/- 60*. For all switching modes, the MIMO
antenna demonstrates an average gain and efficiency of 5 dB and 92\%,
respectively, at the resonance frequency of 2.4 GHz. Reduced envelope
correlation coefficient in one switching mode exhibited 17 dB
improvement in mutual isolation. The simulated results agreed well with
measured data. This simple, low-cost, efficient, and mutually isolated
antenna array can be very useful in MIMO WLAN applications.%
