Design of a MIMO Antenna for UWB Applications
摘要
This paper presents a novel design of an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna system, featuring a rectangular parasitic element for improved isolation. Utilizing CST software simulations, the radiator, constructed on a FR-4 substrate, demonstrates impressive S parameters across a wide bandwidth of 4.6–16 GHz. The insertion of the rectangular slot consistently achieves isolation levels below −22 dB, enhancing performance in diverse communication scenarios. Notably, the antenna exhibits a diversity gain (DG) of 9.999 dB and a low envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of 0.006, highlighting its suitability for high data rates and reliable connectivity in next-generation wireless networks.
