In this paper, a dual band multiple-input-multiple-output dielectric resonator antenna for wireless local area network application is presented. Two identical feeding techniques are used to feed the proposed antenna. The simulated impedance bandwidth for both port are the same which are 6.5% at 2.45 GHz and 3% at 5.2 GHz. The DRA also has an acceptable value of isolation over the operating frequency. The simulated S-parameter and other multiple-input-multiple-output parameters are studied and observed.

A compact dual band-notched ultra-wideband (UWB) diversity antenna for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) application is presented in this letter. The antenna consists of two tapered microstrip feeding lines and two semi-circle patches as the radiators. The C-band and wireless local area network (WLAN) for IEEE 802.11a band-notched function is achieved by etching four split-ring resonators (SRR) in the patches. The simulated and measured results show that the proposed antenna has a broadband impedance bandwidth covering the UWB band with definition of |S11|<-10dB and a dual band-notched function at C-band and WLAN band. As a multiple-input antenna, a good isolation |S21| between two ports better than -15 dB across the UWB is also achieved. The radiation patterns, peak gain, and envelope correlation coefficient are also measured and discussed.

In this article, a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) H-shape Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) is designed and simulated at 2.6 GHz for 4G applications. The proposed structure consists of H-shape DRA ( =10) which is mounted on FR4 substrate ( =4.6), and feed by two different feeding mechanisms. First, microstrip with slot coupling as Port 1. Second, coaxial probe as Port 2. The electrical properties of the proposed MIMO H-shape DRA in term of return loss, bandwidth and gain are completely obtained by using CST Microwave Studio Suite Software. The simulated results demonstrated a return loss more than 20 dB, an impedance bandwidth of 26 % (2.2 – 2.9 GHz), and gain of 6.11 dBi at Port 1. Then, a return loss more than 20 dB, an impedance bandwidth of 13 % (2.2 – 2.7 GHz), and gain of 6.63 dBi at Port 2. Both ports indicated impedance bandwidth more than 10 %, return loss lower than 20 dB, and gain more than 10 dBi at 2.6 GHz. The simulated electrical properties of the proposed design show a good potential for LTE applications.

Design of a Dual-Band Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for the radio-frequency identification (RFID) and wireless local area network (WLAN) is presented. The necessity of a compact sized dual-band antenna is to allow the manufacturers to produce small size high-performance WLAN access points. The proposed antenna consists of printed T-Shaped monopole antenna and rectangular dielectric resonator to operate simultaneously at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz. The monopole antenna was printed on a standard 1.6 mm FR4 substrate material. Impedance bandwidth for -10 dB return loss in the 2.35 GHz and 5.86 GHz center frequency reaches 0.25 GHz (2.22 GHz to 2.47 GHz) and 0.28 GHz (5.72 GHz to 6 GHz), respectively. A good agreement is achieved between measured and simulated results.  This compact antenna fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line is a low-profile and easy to manufacture antenna.

Abstract This communication reports significant isolation improvement utilizing planar suspended line (PSL) technique in ultra wideband (UWB) antenna for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) application. The antenna exhibits dual-band notched characteristic in Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) band covering 5.45–5.85 GHz range; and in 7.15–7.95 GHz range for X-band downlink operations in satellite communication. Band-notching characteristics have been obtained by employing a single Elliptical Split Ring Resonator (ESSR) placed adjacent to each microstrip feed line of the radiating element and duo of “Y”-shaped strips employed within the circular ring of individual radiating elements. Two elements antenna occupy a compact space of 20 × 36 × 1.6 mm3 exhibiting huge measured impedance bandwidth (S11/S22 < −10 dB) covering 3.1–11.5 GHz and significant isolation of >21 dB in the almost entire band of operation. The electrical performance of antennas has been analyzed in terms of various MIMO parameters. Measured results demonstrate good accord with simulated results proving the competency of proposed antenna in high-density package systems and massive MIMO applications.

A novel dual-band, single element multiple input multiple output (MIMO) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a modest frequency tuning ability is presented in this communication. The proposed antenna operates at GPS L1/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/LTE2500/WLAN2400 frequency bands. A single dielectric resonator element is fed by two coaxial probes to excite the orthogonal modes. A couple of slots are introduced on the ground plane to improve the isolation between antenna ports. The slots also serve the purpose of reconfiguration in the lower band on placement of switches at optimized locations. The measured impedance bandwidth is 5.16% (1.41–1.49 GHz) in the lower band and 26% (2.2–2.85 GHz) in the higher band. The lower band reconfigures with an impedance bandwidth of 6.5% (1.55–1.65 GHz) when PIN diodes are switched ON. The gain, efficiency, correlation coefficient, and diversity gain of the MIMO DRA are presented with a close agreement between simulated and measured results.

Abstract In this article, cross-shaped metallic parasitic strips based two radiator element multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is excited by quadrature wave transformer microstrip feedline, designed, simulated and fabricated for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed MIMO antenna structure is implemented with the help of two rectangular-shaped radiator elements that supports three modes HE11δ , HE21δ , and HE12δ at 4.4, 8.3, 10.8 GHz respectively. These fundamental and higher-order modes are supported to wide impedance bandwidth. Inverted T-shaped metallic strip and ground stub to improve the impedance bandwidth 104.6% (3.3–10.8 GHz) with 5.7 dBi peak gain, to enhance the coupling coefficient by stub, scissor-shaped defected ground structure and cross-shaped metallic parasitic strips are used in the existed structure. The MIMO diversity parameters are implemented as simulated ECC ≤ 0.003, DG ≥ 9.98 dB, and CCL ≤ 0.68. All the obtained MIMO antenna parameters are within the acceptable limit for providing high data rate for UWB applications.

A probe feed wideband multi-element dual segments quarter cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (q-CDRA) in composite forms have been proposed. The q-CDRA has been introduced by splitting CDRA into four uniform quarters and multi-segmentation approach has been castoff for further improvement in bandwidth of q-CDRA. The dual segments q-CDRA has been designed and analyzed using theoretical analysis and Ansoft HFSS simulation software. Further the dual segment multi-element q-CDRAs in composite form have been designed. A coaxial probe has been placed at the center of the ground plane for the excitation of proposed multi-element and multi-segmented composite form of q-CDRA, which excite TM01δ mode in the proposed antenna. The input characteristics and radiation patterns of the proposed composite antennas have been studied and their results are compared with corresponding experimental results. Prototype of single, two, and four elements dual-segment composite q-CDRAs have been fabricated and input characteristics of the proposed composite antennas have been compared with each other. Four elements dual-segment composite q-CDRA has shown wide impedance bandwidth (|S11| ≤ −10 dB) of 85.13% with monopole-like radiation pattern. The peak gain of 4.85 dBi with 98.5% radiation efficiency has been achieved for dual-segment four elements composite q-CDRA. The proposed multi-element dual-segment composite q-CDRAs may find suitable applications in C and X-band with complete covering of the 5.0 GHZ wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) band.
