| Summary: | Abstract To accommodate the antenna demand for rural communication and safety monitoring a shared aperture muti-port antenna sensor is presented for three different operating frequencies covering both Sub- 6 GHz and 5G millimeter-wave bands. The antenna sensor is designed on a single substrate, while different ports are connected to different radiating elements to achieve multiple frequency responses. The simulated and measured findings show that the presented antenna can cover TV-white-space (TVWS) frequency band, 5.8 GHz ISM band, and the 5G millimeter-wave frequency band. At the TVWS band, the antenna yields an omnidirectional radiation pattern with a peak gain of 3.14 dBi. While the antenna provides a unidirectional radiation pattern at the 5.8 GHz ISM and 5G millimeter-wave band with a peak gain of 6.76 dBi and 7.68 dBi, respectively. Moreover, all the antenna ports offer a radiation efficiency of more than 92%. Additionally, the 2-port MIMO configuration at the 5G millimeter-wave band shows excellent MIMO diversity performances by utilizing the proposed novel decoupling structure, which consists of metallic stub and cavity vias. Overall performance of the proposed antenna, especially the three operating frequency band including the TVWS band, makes it a viable solution for the sensing and communication in rural areas. |
