A novel compact multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system operating from 5 to 7.3 GHz is proposed for wireless applications. It comprises of two similar antennas with microstrip feeding and radiating patches developed on a reduced ground plane. The developed antenna system resonates at a dual-band of 5.4 and 6.8 GHz frequencies, giving an impedance bandwidth of 38% (based on S11 < −10 dB). The unique structure of the proposed MIMO system gives a reduced mutual coupling of −27 dB at 5.4 GHz resonant frequency and −19 dB at 6.8 GHz resonant frequency and in the entire operating band the coupling is maintained well below −16 dB. The envelope correlation coefficient of the proposed MIMO system is calculated and is found to be less than 0.05 in the operating band. The measured and simulation results are found in good agreement.

In this paper, a compact dual band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for WLAN and X-band satellite applications (2.4/9.8 GHz respectively) is proposed. On the top face of the substrate, two antenna elements with a size of 20 × 24 mm2 are placed side by side and fed with matched orthogonal micro-strip lines. The two antenna elements have orthogonal polarization which can reduce the mutual coupling between its ports. The designed antenna system is fabricated and measured to validate the simulation results. The impedance bandwidths are about 370 MHz (2.19 to 2.56 GHz) and 630 MHz (9.44 to 10.07 GHz), while the obtained isolation is greater than 14 dB at the operating bands. Furthermore, the envelope correlation is less than 0.052 and 0.008 at 2.4 and 9.8 GHz, respectively. Hence the diversity gain is higher than 9.98 in the frequency bands of interest.

Purpose This study aims to propose a two-element multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) antenna for cognitive radio MIMO applications to avoid the complexities involved in reconfigurable antennas and improve the spectrum utilization efficiency. Design/methodology/approach The proposed MIMO antenna system comprises a wideband antenna that operates at 2 GHz–12 GHz for sensing the spectrum and four pairs of antennas for communication, which are single and dual-band antennas. Each pair of antennas meant for communication consists of two similar antennas. Moreover, the antennas meant for communication cover 93% of the bandwidth of the sensing antenna. Findings The first pair of antennas accessible at ports P2 and P6 and the second pair of antennas accessible at ports P4 and P8, which are dual-band antennas, operate at 3.05 GHz–3.85 GHz, 5.8 GHz–8 GHz and 2.05 GHz–2.55 GHz, 4.7 GHz–6.1 GHz, respectively. While the third pair of antennas accessible at ports P3 and P7 and the fourth pair of antennas accessible at ports P5 and P9 are single-band antennas and operate at 3.85 GHz–4.7 GHz and 8 GHz–11 GHz, respectively. Minimum isolations of 20 dB and 15 dB are attained between every two similar antennas for communication and between the sensing antenna and the antennas meant for communication, respectively. The correctness of the proposed antenna is verified with a fine match between the results obtained from simulations and measurements. Originality/value The proposed MIMO antenna possesses salient features, such as polarization diversity and performing a maximum of four communication tasks when all the white spaces are detected.

In this paper, a dual-band (28/38 GHz) linear antenna arrays of four and eight elements are proposed to work as a MIMO arrays for the 5G communication systems. Each element in the array is a dual-band Yagi-Uda antenna designed to operate at 28 and 38 GHz. The eight-elements array size has a total dimension of 79.4 mm x 9.65 mm excluding the feeding microstrip line. The maximum gain of the array is about 18 dB. The peaks of correlation at matched angles (PCMA) technique is applied to determine the direction of arrival for multiple incoming signals. The effects of phase noise and additive Gaussian noise on the error in the DoA estimation are studied showing good accuracy of the PCMA algorithm. Numerical and experimental investigations are achieved to assess the performance of both the single-element antenna and the eight-element MIMO linear antenna array. It is shown that the simulation results agree with the experimental measurements and both show good performance of the single antenna as well as the MIMO linear array system. The envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) and the diversity gain (DG) are calculated and the results show that the proposed MIMO antenna system is suitable for the forthcoming 5G mobile communications. The radiation patterns for single antenna and four-element array are measured and compared to the electromagnetic simulation results showing good agreement.

A side-frame dual-band multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna system for fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication in smartphone applications is presented, operating in 3.5 GHz band (3400-3600 MHz) and 5 GHz band (4800-5000 MHz). The proposed four-element antenna array is placed at four corners of the circuit board and printed on the side edge frame. The height of the structure is only 4.1 mm, which is compatible for ultra-thin full screen smartphones. According to the verification of HFSS and CST, ideal impedance matching bandwidths (superior to 10dB) and excellent isolations (superior to 18 dB) are obtained over the 3.5 GHz band and 5 GHz band, with peak gain of 6.18 dB and 4.9 dB, respectively.
