The present technology fulfills the requirement of high data rate and high channel capacity using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology. The MIMO capacity of the system is increased linearly but due to the multiple antennas placed near to each other, problem of mutual coupling exists, which degrades the maximum achievable performance of the system. The problems of multipath propagation can be solved using MIMO system. The isolation improvement methods decrease the mutual coupling among antenna elements, and improve the gain and efficiency of the system. In this paper, decoupling network isolation approach, parasitic element approach, defected ground structure, Neutralization line, isolation improvement based on metamaterials, isolation improvement using PIN diode, varactor diode, and feeding structure have been incorporated, and their merits and demerits have been discussed. The effect of different permittivity material on antenna parameters has also included.
A four port compact low profile planar MIMO antenna with meander line radiators and with polarization diversity effect has been proposed to cover 5.8 GHz wireless local area network application. The proposed MIMO antenna has −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 1.4 GHz (5.3–6.7 GHz) along with the compact size of 38 × 38 mm2 and an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of less than 4 × 10−4 in the whole band. The proposed antenna resonates at 5.8 GHz frequency, having return loss of −43.2 dB. The isolation between diagonal and opposite ports is more than 10 and 12 dB, respectively, in the presented frequency band. The total active reflection coefficient frequency response shows more than 1.0 GHz of bandwidth in the whole band. The antenna gain is more than 4.0 dBi in the operating frequency band. The radiating elements are very close to each other to make the design very compact.
Abstract-A method of moment based analysis of the co-channel interference at waveguide joints has been presented using Multi Cavity Modeling Technique (MCMT). The proposed analysis has good agreement with the theoretical; CST microwave studio and HFSS simulated data.
A four‐port multiple input multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna with common radiating element is proposed for 2.4 GHz Wi‐Fi applications. It comprises a modified circular radiator fed by four identical modified feedlines, partial ground planes, and a diagonal parasitic element (DPE). The parasitic element is used to enhance the interport isolation. The antenna has a 2:1 Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) impedance band 2.34‐2.56 GHz and nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns. The radiation efficiency is more than 79% and gain is 2 dBi at resonant 2.43 GHz. The isolation in the given frequency band is 10 dB. At the 2.43 GHz, the isolation between adjacent ports (1, 2 and 1, 4) is 14 dB and between opposite ports (1, 3) is 12 dB. The mean effective gain (MEG) ≤ −2.7 dB and envelope correlation coefficient is <0.01. The −10 dB total active reflection coefficient bandwidth is 202 MHz. The antenna is designed for a Wi‐Fi device and the effectiveness of antenna has been checked for distance of ½ feet from the human head. The specific absorption rate (SAR) is found to be ≤0.17 W/Kg by CST simulation tool.
