Abstract

This paper demonstrates a Hybrid Fractal MIMO Antenna (HFMA) integrated with a Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) for fifth-generation wireless applications. Two radiating elements based on Meander and Minkowski Hybrid fractal geometry are included in the proposed design. The defected ground plane, along with CSRR, has been employed to enhance the isolation, bandwidth, gain, and other performance characteristics of the proposed HFMA. The proposed antenna was constructed using Rogers RT/duroid 5880 material. The designed model offers a maximum isolation of -55.86 dB and a wide bandwidth of 28.72 GHz, spanning the frequency range from 1.28 GHz to 30 GHz. All the diversity parameters of the designed antenna are found within operating limits. The proposed antenna is capable of covering multiple 5G spectrum bands, including LTE band 46 (5.15-5.925 GHz), 5G New Radio and 3.5 GHz frequency bands (3.3-5.0 GHz), the 26 GHz 5G spectrum, the European Union 5G spectrum (5.9-6.4 GHz), and is highly suitable for a range of other advanced applications, including Internet of Things (IoT), satellite communications, and vehicular networks in the frequency range of 1-30 GHz band.
