A Compact Multiband 2x2 MIMO Antenna For 5G 28GHz/38GHz IoT and Smart City Applications

Abstract

In this reported-work, a compact MIMO antenna with 2x2 configuration is proposed for 5G applications working at 28GHz and 38GHz bands. The proposed antenna is useful for IoT (Internet of Things) and smart city applications. The designed antenna consist of rectangular patch printed on one plane of Rogers RTDuroid Substrate and ground on the opposite plane. Also, single element antenna is modified as MIMO antenna configuration by placing the radiating elements in adjacent or orthogonal configuration. The proposed antenna is validated by sketching the results in frequency domain and far-field region. Also, the parameter such as ECC, DG, TARC and CCL are evaluated which validates the diversity performance.
