Retracted: Wideband circularly polarised antenna ‘multi‐input‐multi‐output’ for wireless UWB applications
Abstract
Abstract Circularly polarised multiple‐input‐output antennas embedded in wearable wireless devices attract importance in the individual security and beauty fabric modelling industry involving technology embedded on‐clothes wearables. A circularly polarised wideband is designed and analysed in the present design‐study where a wearable application uses a multiple‐input‐output. It adds 2 symmetric ‘Multi‐Input‐Multi‐Output’ antennas that are good looking design like a swan‐shaped, and the ground plane is similar to the shape of a swan. The designed novel antenna comprises a ground plane having a line feed and a rectangular inverted L‐type micro‐strip which is supporting circular polarisation. The antenna element is spanning at 3‐DeciBell (dB) Axial Ratio Band‐Width of 5.2–7.1 GHz and an impedance bandwidth (S11 less than or equal to −10 dB) of 3.6–13 GHz. The proposed antenna manifesting a channel capacity loss less than 0.2 b/s/Hz, and envelope correlation coefficient less than the value 0.02, total active reflective coefficient less than −10 dB, and diversity gain greater than the value of 9.96, Mean Effective Gain (also represented as MEG) ratio is within ±0.5 dB. There is a twin‐sense circular polarisation in this antenna and superior isolation between resonating elements (greater than 18). The proposed antenna for human tissues specimens is also discussed with its specific absorption rate (also pronounced as SAR) in different situations that pertain to the living body. The overall size of the proposed ‘Circularly Polarised’ textile ‘Multi‐Input‐Multi‐Output’ antenna is 34:5 × 42 × 1 mm3. Because of its textile layers, reasonable performance, and compact size, the designed ‘Multi‐Input‐Multi‐Output’ antenna may be useful for wearable applications. The presented novel antenna can be made unrecognisable with a beautiful swan‐shaped design that can simply comingle with the other designs of fabric (in the fashion dress). The simulated antenna was made‐up following regular and general manual techniques and verified in the proposed conditions. The corner‐to‐corner distance between the ‘Multi‐Input‐Multi‐Output’ antennas is 14.2 mm, and the achieved isolation is beyond 18 dB after suitable adjustments of the designed final antenna.
