A Broadband MIMO Array with Gap Coupling For 5G Applications

Abstract

A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) array was designed using a Broadband three-patch gap antenna which has both electric and magnetic elements to couple. A step design is implemented between the elements for Electromagnetic coupling. A MIMO Antenna of four element with a gap is designed at 3.75 GHz. It has the advantages of wideband and multiband capabilities, lower in weight, less volume with thinner dimensions. Communication through 5G Applications is the state of art Technology in which the proposed antenna is most suitable. The compact multiple input multiple output four element array is designed at a frequency of 3.75 GHz. The designed MIMO array has good impedance matching and high isolation between channels. A Comparison with different substrates is done for Optimization. The three layered design in which air is considered as one of the substrates gives very good performance characteristics.
