This paper presents a full wave simulation and characteristic mode-based design of a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna at 5.8 GHz for wireless local area network applications. The driven analysis comprises two antennas that are placed orthogonal to each other. A metamaterial unit structure in the form of a rectangular loop resonator is placed around the antenna element to reduce the electromagnetic interference and to increase the isolation between the two monopoles. A characteristic mode technique is employed to find out the dominant mode of the proposed antenna without a feeding port. It was revealed that mode 1 was the dominant mode among the three modes used. The MIMO antenna is constructed and measured using a vector network analyzer. A good isolation of less than 25 dB was attained with a wide impedance bandwidth of 65.5%.

A novel uniplanar wideband magneto-electric dipole antenna element is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna is composed of the conventional bow-tie radiation patch as an electric dipole, a semi-circular loop, which works as a magnetic dipole, a coplanar ground plane, two directors with different lengths for enhancing gain, and a microstrip-to-coplanar stripline transition balun. The designed antenna adopts a small-size coplanar ground plane to achieve a uniplanar structure. Consequently, this method reduces the space size immensely and makes the antenna suitable for the array application. In addition, a tapered slot structure is utilized to improve impedance matching. The prototype of the proposed antenna was fabricated and measured. The measured results keep in good accordance with the simulated ones. The simulated results show that the proposed antenna obtains a broad impedance bandwidth of 60.5% from 2.25 to 4.20 GHz (voltage standing wave ratio [VSWR] ≤ 2) which can be applied for wireless local area network (WLAN) (2.4–2.484 GHz), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) (2.5–2.69/3.4–3.69 GHz), and long term evolution (LTE) (2.5–2.69 GHz). Meanwhile, the stable gain, low cross-polarization, stable unidirectional radiation patterns, and low back lobe are obtained within the operating frequency band. The array composed of the proposed antenna elements is also investigated in this paper.

This research article reports a compact fractal 4 × 4 UWB extended bandwidth MIMO antenna with physical dimensions of 44 × 44 mm2 for high-speed wireless applications. The reported antenna comprises four fractal radiating elements that are symmetrical and placed orthogonal to each other with a respective rectangular ground printed on the opposite plane. A higher isolation is achieved between the radiating elements by the placement of a fractal patch orthogonally and no separate decoupling structure is required. The antenna offers a −10 dB transmission capacity of 2.84–15.88 GHz. The fractal radiating element, which is embedded by an inverted T-type stub placed within a rectangular slot and an etched rotated C-type slot, provides band-stop filters for WiMAX (Worldwide inter-operability for Microwave Access) and WLAN (wireless local area network)-interfering bands. The key parameters of diversity performance are compared by simulation and measurement (fabricated prototype) of ECC (envelope correlation coefficient), DG (directive gain), TARC (total active reflection coefficient) and CCL (channel capacity loss). The antenna offers an omnidirectional radiation pattern with an average gain of 3.52 dBi.

A coplanar waveguide- (CPW-) fed dual-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for 2.45/5.5 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is presented in this paper. The presented MIMO antenna consists of two identical trapezoidal radiating elements which are perpendicular to each other. The size of the entire MIMO antenna is 50 × 50 × 1.59 mm3, which is printed on a FR4 substrate. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 2.25–3.15 GHz and 4.89–5.95 GHz, which can cover IEEE 802.11 a/b/g frequency bands. A rectangular microstrip stub is introduced to achieve a good isolation which is less than −15 dB in both operation frequency bands. The measured peak gain is 5.59 dBi at 2.45 GHz and 5.63 dBi at 5.5 GHz. The measured antenna efficiency is 77.8% and 80.4% in the lower and higher frequency bands, respectively. The ECC values at the lower and higher frequencies are lower than 0.003 and 0.01, respectively.

AbstractIn this work, simple, low profile, compact quarter-mode substrate-integrated waveguide (QMSIW)-based antennas are proposed for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) at 5.2/5.5 GHz and Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) at 5.8 GHz, respectively. By implementing QMSIW technique, the electrical size of the antenna is reduced up to 1/4th of the conventional circular SIW cavities. Thanks to the quarter mode concept, the antenna size is reduced significantly by preserving its dominant mode. The resonant frequency of the dominant mode TM010 is independently tuned at 5.2, 5.5, and 5.8 GHz after loading the QMSIW cavity with metalized via holes, subsequently. The on-body performance of the antenna is verified on pork tissues at 5.8 GHz and it is found to be insensitive with respect to surroundings. The measured gain and simulated efficiency of the proposed antenna at 5.8 GHz in free space are 4.8 dBi and 92%, while in the proximity of pork tissues values are 3.25 dBi and 57%, respectively. Moreover, the measurement results demonstrate a good matching with the simulation results.

In the present work, a novel multistrip monopole antenna fed by a cross-shaped stripline comprising one vertical and two horizontal strips has been proposed for wireless local area network (WLAN)/Industrial, Scientific, and Medical band (ISM)/International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT)/BLUETOOTH/Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications. The designed antenna has a small overall size of 20 × 30 mm2. The goal of this paper is to use defected ground structure (DGS) in the proposed antenna design to achieve dual-band operation with appreciable impedance bandwidth at the two operating modes satisfying several communication standards simultaneously. The antenna was simulated using Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST MWS) V9 based on the finite integration technique (FIT) with perfect boundary approximation. Finally, the proposed antenna was fabricated and some performance parameters were measured to validate against simulation results. The design procedure, parametric analysis, simulation results along with measurements for this multistrip monopole antenna using DGS operating simultaneously at WLAN (2.4/5.8 GHz), IMT (2.35 GHz), BLUETOOTH (2.45 GHz), and WiMAX (5.5 GHz) are presented.

To restrict electromagnetic interference at WiMAX (3.3–3.7 GHz) and wireless local area network (WLAN) (5.15–5.825 GHz) bands operating within ultra wide bandwidth (UWB) band, a novel design of lamp-shaped UWB microstrip antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna is composed of a lamp-shaped radiating patch with two rectangular ground planes on both the sides of the radiator with the gap of 0.57 mm. To improve impedance mismatch at middle frequencies, two triangular strips one at each of the ground plane are added; whereas a rectangular slot is etched in the radiating patch to remove impedance mismatch at higher frequencies of the UWB band. Furthermore, an L-shaped slot in the radiator and two L-shaped slots in the ground plane are used to restrict electromagnetic interference (EMI) at WiMAX and WLAN bands, respectively, without affecting the electrical performance of the UWB antenna. Effects of the key parameters on the frequency range of the notched bands are also investigated. The proposed design shows a measured impedance bandwidth of 12.5 GHz (2.7–14.4 GHz), with the two band-notched bands of 3.0–3.9 and 4.9–5.8 GHz. The antenna is suitable to be integrated within the portable UWB devices without EMI interference at WiMAX and WLAN bands.
