This communication presents a compact dual element wearable ultrawideband (UWB) multi-in multi-out (MIMO) antenna with increased port isolation. The suggested design consists of a jeans substrate in which a tree fashioned stub comprising of 8(eight) branches is introduced in the middle position of the partially etched antenna ground for improving the characteristics of port isolation. The proposed design occupies the frequency spectrum operating from 1.71 to 12.63GHz (impedance bandwidth of around 152.3 percent) and satisfies the bandwidth demands for WiMAX (3.2-3.8 GHz), WLAN (5.15-5.35/5.72-4.85 GHz), the C Downlink-uplink bands (3.7-4.2/5.9-6.425GHz), ITU bands (8-8.5GHz) and the downlink defense band (7.2-7.5GHz). The antenna is able to maintain isolation between the ports of > 22dB across the entire UWB frequency spectrum. The coefficient of the envelope correlation for the whole operating band was observed to be < 0.012 along with a very high diversity gain > 9.9. The channel power loss of the proposed wearable UWB MIMO antenna is found to be < 0.27 bit/s/Hz. The suggested UWB MIMO antenna, fascinated with optimization, covers an area of 35 x 35 mm 2. The suggested design is also able to perform satisfactorily when attached on-body. Simulation and testing fairly identified the performance of the antenna and rendered it to be an upstanding choice for wearable UWB applications.
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.
