This research work proposes a compact four-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna that operates in the whole license free ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum of 3.1–10.6 GHz. Spatial diversity has been introduced by arranging these antennas in close proximity without developing a strong mutual coupling. Antenna elements are evolved from a conventional rectangular patch antenna whereas a customized decoupling structure is introduced on the back side of the substrate to achieve the desired isolation level. The parasitic decoupling structure consists of different features which are resonant at different frequencies offering a whole UWB coverage. In addition to the decoupling structure a dumbbell shaped stub has also been introduced to the partial ground plane to suppress the mutual coupling. The overall measured isolation among elements is more than 20 dB. Different MIMO performance parameters have also been investigated from the measured results. Whole MIMO system measures 0.41 λo × 0.44 λo at 3.1 GHz. The MIMO system is intended for high data rate and short-range communication devices used in wireless personal area networks.

A novel compact multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system operating from 5 to 7.3 GHz is proposed for wireless applications. It comprises of two similar antennas with microstrip feeding and radiating patches developed on a reduced ground plane. The developed antenna system resonates at a dual-band of 5.4 and 6.8 GHz frequencies, giving an impedance bandwidth of 38% (based on S11 < −10 dB). The unique structure of the proposed MIMO system gives a reduced mutual coupling of −27 dB at 5.4 GHz resonant frequency and −19 dB at 6.8 GHz resonant frequency and in the entire operating band the coupling is maintained well below −16 dB. The envelope correlation coefficient of the proposed MIMO system is calculated and is found to be less than 0.05 in the operating band. The measured and simulation results are found in good agreement.

The correlation between the antennas of multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems in limited spaces and size degrades the performance and capacity by either using complex coupling or decoupling structures. For isolation improvement, this paper presents the simple design of a compact high-isolation ultra-wideband (UWB) MIMO antenna with a circular parasitic element at the back side of the radiating patch, thereby creating the reverse coupling and helping reduce the mutual coupling at the upper part of the frequency bands, and a small rectangular notch at the ground plane to extend the impedance bandwidth of the monopole antenna. This approach eliminates the use of complex coupling or decoupling structures and complex feeding networks. A novel feature of our design is that the MIMO antenna exhibits a very low envelope correlation coefficient (ECC < 0.007) with high diversity gain (DG > 9.99) and wide impedance bandwidth of 139 % from 3.1 to 17.5 GHz applicable for not only UWB application, but also next generation wireless communication, 5G. The high peak gain over the entire UWB and the upper part of the overall frequency band ensure that the antenna can be used in MIMO applications owing to the close agreement between the simulated and measured results.

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.

A compact printed quadrant shaped monopole antenna is introduced in this paper as a good prospect for ultra wideband- multiple-input multiple-output (UWB-MIMO) system. The proposed MIMO antenna comprises two perpendicularly oriented monopoles to employ polarization diversity. An open circuit folded stub is extended from the ground plane of each radiating element to enhance the impedance bandwidth satisfying the UWB criteria. Two ‘L’ shaped slots are further etched on the radiator to provide good isolation performance between two radiators. The desirable radiator performances and diversity performances are ensured by simulation and/or measurement of the reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, realized peak gain, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), diversity gain, mean effective gain (MEG) ratio and channel capacity loss (CCL). Results indicate that the proposed antenna exhibits 2.9–11 GHz 10 dB return loss bandwidth, mutual coupling <−20 dB, ECC < 0.003, MEG ratio ≈ 1, and CCL < 0.038 Bpsec/Hz, making it a good candidate for UWB and MIMO diversity application.

In this paper, A multiple input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna using two Square Dielectric Resonators (SDRs) is introduced. The mutual coupling between the two SDRAs is reduced using two different methods; the first method is based on splitting a spiral slot in the ground plane, then filling the slot with dielectric material, "E.=2.2". The second method is based on inserting a copper parasitic element, having the same shape of the splitted Spiral, between the two SDRAs.  The effect of replacing the copper parasitic element with Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) parasitic element "SOC12 doped long-MWCNT BP" is also studied. The antenna system is designed to operate at 6 GHz. The analysis and simulations are carried out using finite element method (FEM). The defected ground plane method gives a maximum isolation of l8dB at element spacing of 30mm (0.6λo), whereas the parasitic element method gives a maximum isolation of 42.5dB at the same element spacing.

The major applications of MIMO systems include Wi-Fi, High Speed Packet Access, LTE, WiMAX (4G), and also MIMO has been used in power line communication. Implementation of MIMO antenna system is dependent on important parameters such as: Peak gain, Average Gain, Mutual Coupling, Envelop Correlation Coefficient (ECC), Total Active Reflection Coefficient (TARC), Signal polarization and Miniaturization of antenna system. Hence an optimal MIMO antenna design to suit for communication applications in an indoor environment is a challenging task. This paper proposes comparative study for the different MIMO antenna parameters.

AbstractA simple multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with quad-band-notched characteristics for ultra-wideband (UWB) system is proposed and tested in the article. Based on two similar radiators, the UWB-MIMO system only occupies 22 mm × 28 mm. By etching an inverted L-like meander slot, two inverted L-shaped slots, and adding a C-shaped stub beside the feeding line, four notched bands are realized (3.25–3.6, 5.05–5.48, 5.6–6, and 7.8–8.4 GHz) to suppress interference from WiMAX, lower WLAN, upper WLAN, and uplink of X-band satellite communication system. With a T-like stub extruding from the ground plane, port isolation is effectively improved. The results show that the antenna covers 3.1–10.6 GHz UWB frequency band except four rejected bands and has high isolation of better than −20 dB over most of the frequency band. Moreover, envelope correlation coefficient and good radiation patterns also prove that the introduced antenna is suitable for UWB applications.

A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) antenna with high isolation is designed for UWB applications. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of two identical monopole antenna elements. To enhance the impedance matching, three slots are formed on the ground plane. The arc structure as well as the semicircle with an open-end slot is employed on the radiating elements the fact which helps to extend the impedance bandwidth of the monopole antenna from 3.1 up to 10.6 GHz, which corresponds to the UWB band. A ground branch decoupling structure is introduced between the two elements to reduce the mutual coupling. Simulation and measurement results show a bandwidth range from 3.1 to 11.12 GHz with |S11_|<−15 dB, |S21_|<−20 dB, and ECC < 0.002.

A novel compact planar 2 × 2 antenna system with super-wide bandwidth is presented in this paper. The MIMO antenna has four square-shaped patches with two slots in each that are interconnected with each other using four strip lines printed on a substrate of Rogers Duroid RT 5880 with relative permittivity of εr = 2.2 and tangent loss of δ = 0.0009. The proposed antenna system has a partial ground plane with two enhancement fractured slots. The design is characterized by a super-wide impedance starting from 15.2 to 62 GHz (a bandwidth of 46.8 GHz) and compact total system size of 11.2 × 15.25 mm2 with a thickness of 0.12 mm. The proposed MIMO design has omnidirectional radiation pattern for far field and the achieved peak gain reaches 13.5 dBi. The presented planar antenna which relies on computer aided design, has been designed and simulated using an industrial standard simulation code. Its performance results showed that the MIMO design is characterized by super wide bandwidth, omnidirectional radiation pattern, and high-power gain with miniaturized physical size; thus, it is suitable for radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems, fifth-generation applications, ultra-wideband systems, and others.

In this paper, a novel compact multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with enhanced port isolation is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The UWB MIMO antenna contains two coplanar annular monopoles etched on the front side of the FR-4 substrate. The dielectric substrate has a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a size of 80 mm × 40 mm × 1.6 mm. The irregular ground is printed on the back side of the substrate. In order to enhance the port isolation between the two monopoles, the expanded ground is exploited in the proposed design. In addition, the ground is etched with some slots to achieve good impedance matching. Both the simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna achieves good impedance matching as well as high port isolation over the entire UWB band. Moreover, the proposed antenna has good spatial diversity characteristics. In summary, the proposed UWB MIMO antenna can be well applied to the ultra-wideband wireless communication system.
