- Abstract
A four-port ultra-wideband (UWB) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) Vivaldi antenna loaded with resistance and rectangular radiation patch is designed and fabricated. The compact antenna consists of an improved ground and four microstrip feeders, with an overall size of 26mm x 52mm x -0:8 mm. The antenna adopts the resistance loading technology to absorb the excess electromagnetic waves in the low-frequency band and broaden the low-frequency bandwidth of the antenna. The rectangular radiation patch loading technique optimizes the main radiation direction and broadens the high-frequency bandwidth of the antenna. Meanwhile, T-slots and fence-type structures are etched on the ground plane, and I-stubs are added between microstrip feeders to reduce the antenna coupling and increase the isolation degree between the antenna ports. Simulation and experiments show that the impedance bandwidth of the MIMO antenna is 3:0 ~ 12:3 GHz; the isolation degree of the whole working bandwidth is higher than 15 dB; the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is smaller than 0.43; and the increased diversity gain (DG) is more significant than 9.98 dBi. The antenna has good radiation performance and stable gain, which is suitable for applying the UWB MIMO system. This antenna has a particular reference significance for the research of the MIMO Vivaldi antenna.
