Compact Ultra-Wide Band MIMO Antenna System for Lower 5G Bands

Abstract

This paper presents a novel compact 2 × 2 planar MIMO antenna system with ultra-wide band capability. Antenna system is specifically designed to target lower 5th generation operating bands ranging from 2 GHz to 12 GHz. This band also covers the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. The antenna array geometry has been simulated using CST MWS. The design is extremely miniaturized with total structure size of 13 × 25 × 0.254 mm 3 . The simulated and measured results have been presented. Measured and simulated return loss values for designed antenna are less than −10 dB over the operating band and lowest values of −35 dB and −32.5 dB can been seen at 5.2 GHz and 9.2 GHz, respectively, whereas at the center frequency the return loss is −25.2 dB. The mutual coupling between both elements is less than −20 dB over the transmission bandwidth. Simulated and measured radiation patterns in E and H planes at center frequency show nearly isotropic far fields. The maximum gain is measured as 4.8 dB. Promising results of Envelope Correlation Coefficient and gain diversity of the design have been achieved. Simulated and measured results are found in good agreement. The fractional bandwidth of antenna is measured as 143.2% which satisfies its ultra-wide band response.

16-Port Non-Planar MIMO Antenna System With Near-Zero-Index (NZI) Metamaterial Decoupling Structure for 5G Applications

“…However, due to space constraints, closely placed antenna elements produce high mutual coupling, which is undesirable and reduced the performance of the MIMO antenna system. Therefore, an effective decoupling structure is required to reduce the mutual coupling between array elements [4], [5]. In the literature, numerous techniques have been investigated to integrate multiple MIMO elements with acceptable isolation between the array elements.…”

High Isolation and Ideal Correlation Using Spatial Diversity in a Compact MIMO Antenna for Fifth-Generation Applications

“…Furthermore, 5G technology can operate in two categories of frequencies: sub-6 GHz and high frequencies known as millimeter waves. ere are many works in the literature concerning this topic for low frequencies, such as [6][7][8][9]. However, we can find plenty of papers for high frequencies [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Compact design of stair shape patch for short range and lower 5G systems

“…*In the next few years, the world mobile data traffic is expected to grow by more than 45%, which means an increment by ten times between 2016 and 2022. The enormous growth is because of the dramatic increase in number of wireless devices which expected to reach 29 billion internets of things devices within few years (Dateki et al, 2016;Al-Saif et al, 2018). Thus, the more frequency bands are needed to overcome the high demand in the fifth wireless generation.…”
