- Abstract
This study describes the design of a very compact dual-band-notched ultrawide band (UWB) multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) antenna. The main features of the proposed antenna are its compact dimensions and high isolation between the two antenna elements. The UWB performance of the antenna is attained by designing two identical triangular-shaped patch elements, which are designed opposite to each other and connected to a tapered microstrip feedline. The ground plane of the proposed antenna consists of a funnel-shaped patch connected with two triangles at the lower end. In addition, two J-shaped slits are etched in the radiator to get the band rejection characteristics at wireless local area network band from 5.1 to 5.8 GHz and IEEE INSAT/Super-Extended C-band from 6.7 to 7.1 GHz. The designed antenna has the smallest dimension of 26 X 15 X 1.6mm3. Results show that the MIMO antenna has a large impedance bandwidth of 31.9 GHz from 3.1 to 35 GHz. The diversity performance of the proposed antenna is also analysed using different parameters such as envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), diversity gain, total active reflection coefficient and so on. Due to the low mutual coupling of <-24 dB and ECC of <0.2 across the frequency band this antenna is a good candidate for portable UWB applications.
