Characterization of Performance of a Mobile MIMO Antenna in Free Space

Abstract

This paper presents an antenna design method for a dual antenna with high isolation for mobile stations (MS) and includes a verification method for improving the correlation performance of an MS that uses a proposed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna by using MIMO OTA channel models. The large scale parameters for the MIMO OTA channel models are important because they determine the fixed geometrical parameters to be used for channel impulse response realization. The correlation performance of an MS has a strong relation to the Cross Polarization Discrimination (XPD) of the second branch antenna both numerically and experimentally. This study applies modern technology to implement MIMO antenna switch high isolation by selecting Band 5 to have low frequency, fabricated antenna samples that have several XPD values, thereby comparing their characteristics.

Wideband MIMO antenna with small ground clearance for mobile terminals

“…The port isolation achieves 20 dB. The second type places two elements at the orthogonal edges of the board [21,22]. The mutual coupling is low, because the polarisations of the dual elements are orthogonal.…”

Analysis and Design of 4 × 4 MIMO-Antenna Systems in Mobile Phone

“…Actually, there are technical challenges in implementing mobile antennas with both a low correlation property and a sufficient antenna gain in mobile devices. If the isolation within the multiantenna system is insufficient, system performance is reduced in terms of the gain and correlation due to the coupling between antennas [2].…”

A reconfigurable antenna using tuning element for LTE applications

“…According to this development, Antennas in mobile devices need to support multibands and the wideband service. Therefore, the research in the antenna for LTE including 2G and 3G bands is needed .…”
