摘要

This article reported a novel two-port wideband Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna printed on FR4 substrate with a compact size (35 × 22 mm2) that can be used for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Sub-6 GHz: N77/N78/N79, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and downlink satellite communication. A unique floral slotted patch is attached to a tapered feed on top and a rectangular stub carved into the partial ground forms the bottom plane of substrate. The proposed 2-port MIMO antenna operates within the 3.32–7.72 GHz frequency range, making it compatible with various wireless communication standards, including WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz), sub-6 GHz bands (N77: 3.3–4.2 GHz, N78: 3.3–3.8 GHz, N79: 4.4–5 GHz), WLAN (5.15–5.825 GHz), and the downlink satellite band (7.25–7.75 GHz). The integration of a rectangular stub with a defected ground structure (DGS) enhances its diversity performance, achieving an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) < 0.002, a diversity gain (DG)≈10, a total active reflection coefficient (TARC) < − 10 dB, a channel capacity loss (CCL) < 0.1 bits/s/Hz, and a mean effective gain (MEG) < − 3.01 dB. These characteristics make it an excellent choice for 5G Sub-6 GHz applications.
