Abstract
This letter presents the design and analysis of an ultrawideband (UWB) artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) aimed to enhance the gain of a UWB millimeter-wave (mm-wave) multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) antenna. The AMC features capacitive slots to excite TM20 mode to achieve a phase bandwidth of 14.08 GHz, ranging from 23.49 GHz to 37.57 GHz. A 10 × 10 AMC array is positioned 0.38λ0 (λ0 is free-space wavelength at 23.27) beneath the MIMO antenna for the gain enhancement. The proposed antenna resonates from 23.27 GHz to 39.3 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 16.03 GHz. The isolation between quad ports is greater than 19.84 dB. The enhanced gain of the proposed MIMO antenna ranges from 8.7 dBi to 12.21 dBi, with maximum gain reaching 12.21 dBi at 31.5 GHz. The proposed antenna shows diverse performance in terms of envelope correlation coefficient < 0.005, channel capacity loss < 0.26 b/s/Hz, and total active reflection coefficient < −10 dB. The size of the proposed antenna is 3.8λ0 × 3.8λ0 × 0.38λ0 only. This makes the proposed antenna suitable for a 5G bastion antenna.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
