Abstract In this paper, a dual-band 8 × 8 multi-input multi-output (MIMO) array antenna operating in 3.5 GHz band (3400–3600 MHz) and 5.5 GHz band (5150–5925 MHz) for 5G mobile handset is presented. The proposed hybrid antenna includes a comb-shaped monopole and an L-shaped open slot antenna which are symmetrically located on the inner surface of the side-edge frame of smartphone. Pattern diversity is achieved that can mitigate envelope correlation coefficients (ECCs) and improve the MIMO system performances. The prototype of proposed dual-band eight-element MIMO antenna is fabricated and experimentally measured. The results show that isolation <−10 and <−15 dB, respectively in the lower band and high band without any additional decoupling element are achieved and the desired bands are satisfied under the condition of −6 dB impedance matching. Moreover, the essential parameters for evaluation of the MIMO system performance such as the ECC, mean effective gain (MEG), and ergodic channel capacity are calculated. Furthermore, the influence of user's hand on the radiation characteristics of proposed MIMO antenna are also investigated and discussed. Based on the result, the proposed MIMO antenna is a good candidate for use in future 5G applications.

Abstract A dual-band 10-port multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna array for 5G smartphone is proposed. Each antenna in the MIMO system can work from 3.4 to 3.6 GHz and 5 to 6 GHz with 10 dB (2:1 VSWR) impedance bandwidth. Nevertheless, for a 3:1 VSWR, the antenna operates from 3.3 to 3.8 GHz and 4.67 to 6.24 GHz. The MIMO system is formed by making 10 seven-shaped coupled fed slot antenna elements excited at two different resonant modes and integrated into the system circuit board. By implementing the spatial and polarization diversity techniques, high isolation better than 28 dB between any pair of antenna elements is achieved. The proposed 10-port MIMO antenna array is fabricated and measured. Significant radiation efficiency is obtained, ranging from 65 to 82% for both bands. The antenna gain in the required operating band is substantial, around 3–3.8 dBi. Further, the MIMO parameters such as envelope correlation co-efficient, channel capacity, and total active reflection co-efficient are calculated. The antenna's robustness is estimated by analyzing the user hand effects and specific absorption rate (SAR). The measured results are well agreed with the simulated results.

A compact high isolation ultrawideband (UWB) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is designed. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of a rectangular monopole antenna and a slot antenna fed by two microstrip lines, respectively. To improve the impedance matching, a circular coupling structure is designed to feed the tapered slot antenna. The parasitic resonance introduced by the ground stub helps to extend the impedance bandwidth of monopole antenna at the upper UWB band. Commonly used complex decoupling or coupling structures are eliminated that endow the proposed antenna minimized foot print, which is preferred in mobile handset. Although without decoupling structure, high isolation is obtained between two antenna elements. Simulation and measurement verify the antenna’s desirable performance, showing a broad impedance bandwidth of 3.1–10.6 GHz with |S11| < −10 dB and |S21| < −20 dB over 3.4–10.6 GHz, and |S21| < −18 dB from 3.1–3.4 GHz.

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.

This paper presents a two-element dual-band MIMO antenna with dual-polarization for 5G user equipment. Both operating frequencies are of sub-6 GHz band centered at 3.6 GHz and 5.5 GHz respectively and are independent of each other. Antenna polarizations depend on the placement of the feed elements on the PCB. The antenna is designed on FR-4 substrate to ensure its easy availability and keeping it cost-effective. The resultant radiation pattern of the antenna set is bi-directional with good gain and efficiency.

This article presents design and simulation of a new compact four-element dual-band MIMO frequency reconfigurable antenna that can be reconfigured for WiMAX and LTE applications. The antenna includes four elements at the same FR4 substrate with an optimized overall size of 65x65x1.6 mm3 and an optimized partial GND plane of 30x11.125 mm2. The reconfiguration rate is between 2.41 and 3.99 GHz that can cover the WiMAX and LTE wireless devices by applying just one RF (PIN) switch to change the operating frequency. The antenna operates on the two states of the PIN diode under its two states ON and OFF with (2.7 GHz, and 2.8 GHz) resonant frequencies respectively. The proposed antenna produces acceptable simulation results for the MIMO system by achieving gain from (3-7.2) dBi, less than -14.5 dB coupling effect, less than 0.28 envelope correlation coefficient, and diversity gain range from 8.4-10.

This article demonstrates the coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed L- slot microstrip antenna for multi frequency band operation is presented. The proposed antenna is excited by a single CPW feed connected to a Microstrip antenna. In this radiating patch and feed are etched on the same dielectric material. A SMA connector is used to connect the feed strip which couples the energy to a radiating patch by capacitive feed. The length and width are designed to obtained dual band frequency range. A truncation is used for multiband operations and for proper impedance matching. L- slot is used to increase the depth of S11 parameter.
