Dual band four port MIMO antenna with dual circular polarization for Wi-Fi/WiMAX applications

The planar compact four port circularly polarized printed MIMO antenna described in this article is small and intended to support Wi-Fi and WiMAX applications. Suggested four E-shaped monopole elements make up the dual circularly polarized (CP) MIMO antenna that has two left hand CP (LHCP) elements...

description The planar compact four port circularly polarized printed MIMO antenna described in this article is small and intended to support Wi-Fi and WiMAX applications. Suggested four E-shaped monopole elements make up the dual circularly polarized (CP) MIMO antenna that has two left hand CP (LHCP) elements and two right hand CP (RHCP) elements. An I shaped strip is used to join separate ground planes of designed E shaped monopole antenna to have same voltage levels. A good diversity performance is achieved with an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of less than 0.15. The 60 mm × 60 mm antenna is designed from FR4 material, which is inexpensive and has a 1.6 mm thickness. Using a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS), the suggested MIMO antenna is designed and optimized. The measured findings demonstrate the circular polarization, 3-dB axial ratio beamwidth, impedance bandwidth of 2.11 GHz −2.42 GHz and 3.40 GHz-3.51 GHz, adequate axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of the suggested MIMO antenna along with high isolation of −17 dB, gain of 3.43 and 2.09 dBic at 2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz respectively, TARC (Total active reflection coefficient) of less than 0 dB, a CCL (Channel capacity loss) of lesser than 0.4 bits/sec/Hz, and an MEG (Mean effective gain) value of less than 3 dB.
