Octa-Port High Gain MIMO Antenna Backed with EBG for mm -Wave Applications
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 103, 139-157, 2023
Abstract
This article presents a miniaturized octa-port high gain multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna loaded with an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) layer for the use in 5G wireless communication applications. Each resonator of the presented antenna is comprised of a rectangular-like patch with truncated side edges and a partial ground plane. A layer of EBG unit cells is introduced underneath the antenna elements to increase the gain and restrain the surface wave effects, obtaining improved isolation amongst the resonating elements. The -10 dB impedance bandwidth of the prospective antenna with EBG is 12 GHz (21-33 GHz), and it provides isolation of >28 dB. The peak gain of the EBG-backed antenna is 17 dB. The presented mm-wave MIMO antenna offer decent diversity proficiency metrics like envelope correlation coefficient (<0.36), diversity gain (~10 dB), and total active reflection coefficient (-24.75 dB). The overall size of the octa-port MIMO antenna is 27.2 mm × 27.2 mm. The presented MIMO antenna could be used for n257/n258/n261 mm-wave bands.
