High-isolation Quad-port MIMO Antenna for 5G Applications

Abstract

This paper presents a compact, high-isolation MIMO antenna with physical dimensions of 68 × 68 × 0.8 mm, designed for use in 5G applications. The antenna's bandwidth ranges from 3.25 GHz to 4.34 GHz and it offers a gain of 4.3 dBi, making it suitable for applications relying on 5G technology. Several improvements have been introduced to improve its overall efficiency, such as adjustments to the ground plane and integrating apertures in the radiating patch. The alterations referred to above were optimized using the sweep parameter method to ensure that their best configurations are achieved. Furthermore, much attention has been paid to enhance isolation by ensuring all terminals are positioned precisely at 90° angles. The CST Studio Suite was utilized to design and thoroughly simulate the proposed MIMO antenna.
