A compact ultra‐wideband (UWB) multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna with dual band‐notched characteristics for portable applications is proposed in this article. The antenna is fed by coplanar waveguide and has four feeding ports with the size of 50 × 50 mm2. By etching split‐ring resonator slots on the radiation patches, dual notches filtering out the 3.5 GHz WiMAX and 5.5 GHz WLAN bands can be achieved. The design process is given step‐by‐step and the band‐notched mechanism is studied with the surface current distributions. Moreover, the band‐notched characteristics of cylindrical conformal antenna is analyzed in this article. The experimental results show that the proposed antenna can be widely used in UWB communication system with good radiation characteristics, stable gain, and low envelope correlation coefficient. The idea embodied in this article can also be used to guide for the research of band‐notched conformal UWB MIMO antenna.
In order to allocate reasonable frequency resources in millimeter wave band for 5th-Generation (5G), this paper summarizes the position and consideration of USA and China. It analyses the feasibility of sharing and compatibility in 24.25-27.5GHz, 66-71GHz, 81-86GHz with Monte-Carlo simulation. There is a high possibility to allocate 24.75-27.5GHz, 66-71 GHz and 81-86 GHz to 5G in ITU and China. But the commercial deployment in millimeter wave in China will be delayed 1-2 years because of industry bottleneck.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
