| description | An eight-element MIMO antenna with a neutralization line was utilized for future 5G mm-wave applications. The MIMO configuration was designed for two ports, four ports and eight ports to validate the desired impedance and radiation characteristics. The measured results in terms of MIMO and scattering parameters correlate well with the simulated one. The printed eight-port antenna was a miniaturized size of 44 × 70 × 0.8 mm<sup>3</sup>. Roger RT/duroid 5880 substrate was used to print antennas. The presented antenna produced a vast bandwidth of 18 GHz, varying from 28 to 46 GHz, and achieved a reduced mutual coupling of 30 dB with 6.8–8.5 dBi gain. The eight-port antenna is compared with contemporary antennas considering size, isolation, impedance bandwidth, diversity characteristics and radiation properties, confirming that the presented antenna is a promising candidate for future 5G mm-wave applications. |
