A compact ultrawideband multiple input multiple output antenna with dual band notch characteristics is proposed. The design utilizes the property of quasi-self-complementary monopoles to achieve a bandwidth that ranges from 2.2 GHz to 11 GHz. The design has a compact size of 30 mm × 41 mm × 1.59 mm.

The measured and simulated radiation patterns are in good agreement and is found to be stable throughout the ultrawideband. Moreover, the measured peak gain is found to be 4 dBi.     

Isolation enhancement for dual‐band MIMO antenna system using multiple slots loading technique

In this paper, a novel multiple slot loading technique is studied in detail for the isolation enhancement of the dual‐band MIMO antenna system. The proposed MIMO antenna design consists of the microstrip patch loaded with T‐shaped slots parallel to the non‐radiating edge of the patch. The frequency tuning could be achieved by varying the length of the T‐shape slot arm. The proposed MIMO antenna system is optimised for operation in WLAN and WiMAX applications. The isolation enhancement is achieved by providing simple multiple slots loaded in the ground plane between radiating elements. The length of the slots is λ/4 . The system is fabricated and tested using a vector network analyser and anechoic chamber. The reduction in mutual coupling up to ?29.16 dB and ?24.09 dB for the 2.4 GHz and 3.4 GHz, respectively, is achieved. The bandwidths are 62.3 MHz (3.33–3.39 GHz) and 55.5 MHz (2.37–2.42 GHz), respectively. The total gain obtained in this case is 1.8 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 1.2 dBi at 3.4 GHz, respectively. The dimensions of the proposed designed antenna are 70 mm × 60 mm × 1.6 mm. The results were also verified through mutual coupling parameters like envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) and channel capacity loss (CCL) at the desired frequencies.

This article proposes a novel printed monopole antenna for ultra wideband applications with dual band-notch function. The antenna consists of a disc-shaped radiating patch with a pair of folded strips arms, and a ground plane with a two L-shaped conductor backed plane, which provides a wide usable fractional bandwidth of more than 140 % (2.6–14.43 GHz).

This article introduces a novel and groundbreaking approach combining multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology with radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting. The proposed antenna consists of two semi-circular monopole antenna components, optimized with dimensions of 89 × 51.02 × 1.6 mm³, that share a common ground plane to achieve MIMO characteristics. A series of split-ring resonators on the ground plane significantly enhances the isolation between the two radiating components. Band-notched features are performed in the 3.5 GHz WiMAX and 5.5 GHz WLAN bands through modified C-shaped slots in the radiating patch and two rectangular split-ring resonators serving as parasitic devices near the feed line. The reconfiguration of band-notching is made possible by controlling the modes of the embedded PIN diodes. The two antenna elements maintain mutual coupling below −18 dB from 1.5–13 GHz, achieving an impressive 158.62% impedance bandwidth. The antenna's efficiency and gain experience significant drop, indicating effective interference suppression at the center frequencies of the notch bands, and its performance in MIMO systems is assessed through parameters including envelope correlation coefficient, port isolation, radiation patterns, efficiency, gain, and diversity gain. The simulated properties of the designed antenna closely align with the measured outcomes, demonstrating its reliability and consistency. Moreover, the article evaluates the antenna's potential for RF energy harvesting, achieving a maximum harvested energy of 4.88 V. This proposed antenna can be used in multiple applications, like wideband, band-notching MIMO, and RF energy harvesting.

ABSTRACT

A compact planar Ultrawideband (UWB) monopole antenna with quadruple band notch characteristics is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a notched rectangular radiating patch with a 50 Ω microstrip feed line, and a defected ground plane. The quadruple band notched functions are achieved by utilising two inverted U-shaped slots, a symmetrical split ring resonator pair (SSRRP) and a via hole. The fabricated antenna has a compact size of 24 mm × 30 mm × 1.6 mm with an impedance bandwidth ranging from 2.86 to 12.2 GHz for magnitude of S₁₁ < ?10 dB. The four band notched characteristics of proposed antenna are in the WiMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access) band (3.25–3.55 GHz), C band (3.7–4.2 GHz), WLAN (wireless local area network) band (5.2–5.9 GHz) and the downlink frequency band of X band (7–7.8 GHz) for satellite communication are obtained. The measured and simulation results of proposed antenna are in good agreement to achieve impedance matching, stable radiation patterns, constant gain and group delay over the operating bandwidth.     

Design of a CPW-Fed Compact MIMO Antenna for Next Generation Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communication

This article presents a compact Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW) fed antenna for next-generation Vehicular Communications. The antenna is designed by employing two rectangular stacked patch structures and slots, making the antenna resonate at dual frequency bands. The analytical study of antenna design is carried out using the governing microstrip patch equations. On optimizing the patch's dimensions for CPW structures, the desired frequency range of operation is obtained for the single element antenna structure. The designed antenna resonates at 3.5 GHz (LTE-42 Band) and 5.9 GHz (DSRC Band), yielding this antenna to be a prime component for Vehicular to Everything (V2X) Communication. The optimized single-element antenna structure is 35 mm?×?20 mm designed on an FR-4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. The substrate has a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a loss tangent value of 0.001. Further, the antenna structure is developed as a 4-element MIMO configuration with the distance between adjacent antenna elements to be 10 mm. The adjacent antennas in the MIMO configuration are positioned orthogonal to each other, thereby exhibiting better isolation between the antenna elements. The antenna has a reflection coefficient value of?<??10 dB within the bandwidth of interest and VSWR less than 2. The Gain value of the designed antenna ranges between 2.8 and 2.9 dBi at 3.5 GHz and between 3.6 and 3.7 dBi at 5.89 GHz. The overall efficiency of the antenna element is between 60 and 80% at both frequency bands. MIMO parameters are analyzed by calculating the Channel Capacity Loss (CL), Diversity Gain (DG), Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) and Total Active Reflection Co-Efficient (TARC). The designed antenna is fabricated and tested, which shows the measured results coincide with the simulated antenna results. The overall dimension of the MIMO configured antenna design is 60 mm × 60 mm × 1.6 mm, which is highly compact and is a suitable candidate for deployment of Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle to Network (V2N) scenarios.
