A MIMO Antenna Design Challenges for UWB Application
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 36, 357-371, 2012
Abstract
This paper proposes a compact printed ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with a dimension of 38 x 91 mm2. The presented UWB-MIMO antenna is comprised of two identical patch elements with D separation distance on the same substrate. The basic single antenna structure has a novel design comprising seven circles surrounding a center circle with partial ground plane implementation. Furthermore, the experimental antenna has peak gain of 5.3 dBi between an operating frequency of 2.8 GHz and 8.0 GHz under a minimum reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB (S11<-10 dB). Moreover, the antenna successfully achieved mutual coupling minimization of < -17 dB, eventually resulting in enhancement of radiation efficiency. Besides, the UWB-MIMO's correlation coefficient was effectively reduced to less than -22 dB, which reflected an improvement in the antenna's diversity. In this paper, the proposed antenna is examined both numerically and experimentally.
