MIMO Using Silicon Patch Antenna

Abstract

The growth of mass communication system results the need for the high gain compactable multi-antenna base station by employing the recently introduced Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) concept. A dual-band silicon patch antenna for MIMO operating at 2.4GHz and 5GHz has been designed and stimulated results are presented in this paper. The antenna designed with the dielectric constant 2.2 of material RT-duroid results in high efficiency and low substrate loss. ADS software is used for the stimulation of antenna RF-properties and other parameters. With the use of online calculator, the antenna has been designed for 33mm of length and 35mm of width.
