This is critical for enabling reliable communication in MIMO systems. The antenna design includes the arrangement of two radiating elements in close proximity edge to edge at different distances. This arrangement allows the antenna to attain high gain while maintaining a compact structure, making it suitable for integration into small form factor devices. The use of FR-4 substrate material further contributes to the antenna’s compactness and cost-effectiveness.

This experimental study designed a compact inverted E-shaped open-circuited impedance matching stub with a uniform stepped impedance resonator (SIR) bandpass filter for the ultra-wideband (UWB) range of frequencies used in 4G and mid-band 5G wireless applications. The main challenge is to reject the spurious response of upper and lower stopbands with the help of uniform SIR BPF. The proposed filter design generates excellent selectivity and effective stopband rejection at both passbands ends using the symmetrical structure of SIR and inter-digital coupled feed lines. By modifying and positioning two open-circuited stubs on every side of the stub resonators for impedance matching, a bandpass filter (BPF) was made to attain a broad bandwidth and a high degree of selectivity. This study also investigated on various dielectric constant FR-4, Rogers RO-3003, Rogers RO-4003C, and RT/Duriod-6010 for the achievement of filter performances (4.6–7.3), (5.34–8.68), (5–8), (3–5) GHz respectively with the same design structure. Among these dielectric constants, the filter on RT/Duroid-6010 has good FBW (51.6%) and return loss (50 dB).
