Abstract:
The article represents the design of two port-based printed MIMO antenna structures that have the advantages of low profile, simple structure, good isolation, peak gain, directive gain, and reflection coefficient. The performance characteristics are observed for the four design structures by cropping the patch region, loading the slits near the hexagonal-shaped patch, and adding and removing the slots in the ground area. The antenna provides a least reflection coefficient of -39.44 dB, a maximum electric field of patch region of 33.3 V/cm, a total gain of 5.23 dB, and good values of total active reflection coefficient and diversity gain. The proposed design provides nine bands' response, a peak bandwidth of 2.54 GHz, and a peak bandwidth of 26.127 dB. The four proposed structures are fabricated using a low-profile material to support mass production. The comparison among simulated and fabricated structures is included to check the authenticity of the work. The performance assessment of the proposed design with other published articles is carried out for the performance observation. The suggested technique is analyzed over the wideband of frequency region 1 GHz to 14 GHz. The multiple band responses make the proposed work suitable for wireless applications in S/C/X/Ka bands.
