This article presents a MIMO compact antenna measuring 45×45×1.6 mm, on the FR4 substrate, proposed for Ka band and 5G communication applications. The proposed design is suitable to overcome the issues connected with massive MIMO. It has four-sigma-shaped radiating elements and a c-shaped ground plane with coplanar waveguide feeding. Its compact dimensions suit it for most existing communications systems. The aerial operates in the 21–30 GHz range, which covers Ka and 5G communication bands. The proposed antenna exhibits the average efficiency of more than 76% within its operating band and gives a minimum signal to noise plus interference ratio. The presented antenna covers several services, such as Ka band satellite downlink applications and future 5G communication applications.

A compact, low-profile, coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed quad-port multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO)/diversity antenna with triple band-notched (Wi-MAX, WLAN, and X-band) characteristics is proposed for super-wideband (SWB) applications. The proposed design contains four similar truncated–semi-elliptical–self-complementary (TSESC) radiating patches, which are excited through tapered CPW feed lines. A complementary slot matching the radiating patch is introduced in the ground plane of the truncated semi-elliptical antenna element to obtain SWB. The designed MIMO/diversity antenna displays a bandwidth ratio of 31:1 and impedance bandwidth (|S11| ≤ − 10 dB) of 1.3–40 GHz. In addition, a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) is implanted in the resonating patch to eliminate WLAN (5.5 GHz) and X-band (8.5 GHz) signals from SWB. Further, an L-shaped slit is used to remove Wi-MAX (3.5 GHz) band interferences. The MIMO antenna prototype is fabricated, and a good agreement is achieved between the simulated and experimental outcomes.

Abstract Two configurations of a modified feather-shaped antenna element are proposed for super wideband (SWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) applications. The antenna element geometry comprises of a circular slot-loaded feather-shaped radiator and rectangular notch-loaded quarter elliptical coplanar waveguide ground plane. An operating bandwidth of 4.4–51.5 GHz with inter-port isolation, S21 ≥ 15 dB for spatial diversity configuration, and 3.8–51.5 GHz with S21 ≥ 15 dB in pattern diversity configuration are achieved. The footprints of the antenna configurations are 17 × 33 and 31 × 31 mm2. Both configurations exhibited an envelope correlation coefficient of <−20 dB. The proposed MIMO configurations are fabricated and experimentally validated. The designed antenna configurations are SWB and compact.

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.

The ultra wide band (UWB) Multiple-Input- Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna with coplanar waveguide (CPW) having size of 18 x 23 x 0.8mm3 is designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The designed MIMO antenna contains two symmetrical circular disc loaded curved elliptical monopoles on top of the substrate and common ground plane with Y slot and extended T-shaped stub on bottom of substrate. The T- shape stub is placed on the ground plane to have the better antenna impedance matching and to enhance the isolation between the two antenna ports. To further improve the isolation in between the ports 1 and 2, and also on the ground plane a Y-shaped slot is fixed. Good impedance matching (|S11| < -10dB) in the range from 2.8GHz to 12 GHz is provided by the proposed antenna, and an enhanced isolation of -27dB, low ECC of below 0.002, an acceptable gain of about 7 dBi and an efficiency of above 90%. The obtained result proves that the designed antenna is more appropriate for the portable devices.

AbstractA novel multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) fractal antenna excited by a coplanar waveguide was investigated in this study. A novel technique was used to improve the isolation of 20 dB between the dual radiating elements by inserting a strip line into the outer edges of the ground plane. A sunflower structure was used to configure the antenna in three steps. At each step, an additional sunflower structure was added with half the size of that used in the previous step to enhance the impedance bandwidth. The measured values of envelop correlation coefficient and total active reflection coefficient indicated that the proposed MIMO antenna has high-diversity performance between radiating elements. Wide dual operating bands of 2–2.9 and 5–10 GHz were obtained, which can support different wireless communications, such as 3G, LTE (2.6 GHz), WLAN (2.4 GHz/5 GHz), WiMAX (2.4 GHz/5GHz), ISM (2.4 GHz/5 GHz), 5G (5–6 GHz), and satellite communications (6–8 GHz). The MIMO fractal antenna with a small size achieved a maximum efficiency of 85% and a peak value gain of 6 dBi, low-channel capacity loss of 0.15–0.4 b/s/Hz, and high isolation between radiating elements is suitable for portable communication devices.

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.
