A printed 16 ports massive MIMO antenna system with directive port beams

Abstract A compact massive MIMO antenna system with 1x4 (sector) subarray setup working at sub-6 GHz range for 5G base stations has been planned and broke down in different configurations(rectangular, triangular and hexagonal). The limit of a system can be expanded by more than 10 times whereas the energy efficiency can be expanded 100 times utilizing a Massive MIMO system. A limit of 5 sectors has been utilized with every sector containing 1x4 subarray components. Every sector comprises of three layers, in which 1x4 patches is situated on its top layer though it's taking care of organization and ground plane has been set in the base layer and the centre layer individually. The whole system can work in two modes, singular port activity andmassive MIMO exhibit activity with shaft guiding abilities. The deliberate data transmission of the framework is 140 MHz that covers the frequencies from 3.36 GHz to 3.50 GHz in sub-6 GHz band. The general component of a unit subarray regarding length, width and tallness was 280.5 x 56.1 x 2 mm3. The gain of an individual port is discovered to be 12.95 dBi and the general addition of a single panel with 5 sectors arranged in rectangular structure is 19.73 dBi. Mutual couplingamong all the ports has been kept not exactly - 16 dB. The working frequency of the radio antenna array system is picked in the scope of 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz as this band has been assigned and focused across the globe to empower 5G in Sub-6 GHz band.

Abstract This study presents a novel configuration of a cuboidal quad-port ultra-wideband multiple-input and multiple-output antenna with WLAN rejection characteristics. The designed antenna consists of four F-shaped elements backed by a partial ground plane. A 50 Ω microstrip line is used to feed the proposed structure. The geometry of the suggested antenna exhibits an overall size of 23 × 23 × 19 mm3, and the antenna produces an operational bandwidth of 7.6 GHz (3.1–10.7 GHz). The notched band characteristic at 5.4 GHz is accomplished by loading a pair of spiral electromagnetic bandgap structures over the ground plane. Besides this, other diversity features such as envelope correlation coefficient, and diversity gain are also evaluated. Furthermore, the proposed antenna system provides an isolation of −15 dB without using any decoupling structure. Therefore, to validate the reported design, a prototype is fabricated and characterized. The overall simulated performance is observed in very close agreement with it's measured counterpart.

Alternative Material

With the development of 5G, Internet of Things, and smart home technologies, miniaturized and compact multi-antenna systems and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays have attracted increasing attention. Reducing the coupling between antenna elements is essential to improving the performance of such MIMO antenna system. In this work, we proposed a graphene-assembled, as an alternative material rather than metal, film-based MIMO antenna array with high isolation for 5G application. The isolation of the antenna element is improved by a graphene assembly film (GAF) frequency selective surface and isolation strip. It is shown that the GAF antenna element operated at 3.5 GHz has the realized gain of 2.87 dBi. The addition of the decoupling structure improves the isolation of the MIMO antenna array to more than 10 dB and corrects the antenna radiation pattern and operating frequency. The isolation between antenna elements with an interval of 0.4λ is above 25 dB. All experimental results show that the GAF antenna and decoupling structure are efficient devices for 5G mobile communication.
