Ten Ports Wideband Metamaterial Based Single Layer MIMO Antenna for Millimeter Wave Application
摘要
This article presents, a novel arrow-shape metamaterial (MTM) loaded ten ports MIMO antenna for millimeter Wave (mm-wave) application. The antenna is manufactured on Roger 5880 RT/Duroid, with a total volume of 20 mm×80 mm×0.8 mm. The novel arrow-shape MTM is loaded for the enhancement of gain and isolation. The maximum peak gain is 13.1dBi, realized gain is 10.8dBi, and isolation is more than 26dB. The bandwidth is more than 40 GHz at lower resonance frequency of 10 GHz. The envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is below 0.03, diversity gain (DG) is above 9.9dB, and multiplexing efficiency (ηmux) is also below − 0.4dB. The values of Cross-polarization is below − 20dB for all frequencies and furthermore the design is also evaluated in term of correlation coefficient, DG, peak gain, realized gain, total efficiency, radiation efficiency, ηmux, radiation pattern and current distribution.
