Abstract

A compact size UWB circularly polarized (CP) dual-port MIMO antenna is designed for Ku/K band applications. The proposed antenna contains a revised circle-shaped slot from the radiation patch on the front-side and a stepped-feed line on the back-side of the substrate. The orthogonal position of the antenna ports allows us to produce isolation of more than 30dB and has a (-10 dB) impedance bandwidth of 68% (14.3-29.3 GHz) at two resonant frequencies 15.6 GHz and 24.7 GHz respectively. 3 dB ARBW in the operating bands is 14.6% and 6.7%, respectively. The total size of the MIMO antenna is is 0.1λ × 0.05λ × 0.003λ mm³ at a lower frequency. Diversity characteristics like ECC, DG, TARC & CCL are determined to confirm the MIMO antenna's work qualities. Ringing resonating frequencies are observed at lower operating bands and are responsible for gain degradation. The proposed antenna has excellent characteristics for satellite and NASA's Tracking Data Relay Satellite application.
