A meander branch antenna for MIMO antenna decoupling

Compact UWB-MIMO antenna with metamaterial FSS decoupling structure

In this paper, an UWB-MIMO antenna with frequency selective surface (FSS) decoupling structure is proposed. To realize antenna system miniaturization and integration, silicon material is applied as substrate. The proposed antenna becomes a very compact construction with dimension of 38.2 × 26.6 × 0.4 mm. The proposed broadband FSS unit consists of four split rectangles and one I-shaped strip. T...

On Performance of High-efficiency Ferrite Meander Antenna (hema) for Mimo Commu- Nications

This paper presents a high-efficiency ferrite meander antenna (HEMA), which can be used to realize a 2 × 2 multipleinput-multiple-output (MIMO) communication system when it is used at both the transmitter and the receiver ends. This antenna is designed to operate at 2.45GHz center frequency (fc). It consists of two spatially separated half-cycle microstrip meander structures. Ferrite material i...

Antenna Configurations for MIMO In-Building Distributed Antenna Systems

An antenna solution for MIMO channels: the switched parasitic antenna

We investigate the switched parasitic antenna (SPA), which is a novel technique for electronically directing the radiation pattern, in a MIMO system. The correlation between the received signal modes are shown to be sufficiently low to yield a diversity gain. The capacity limit using the SPA is investigated for different SPA configurations and it is found that the capacity is comparable with an...

Antenna designs for MIMO systems

This chapter describes the development and testing of antenna elements for use in a Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) application. MIMO wireless systems have antenna arrays at both the transmitter and receiver terminals. This project focuses on the terminal MIMO antenna array design. The requirements of the antenna element at the terminal are as yet not well-defined but will include (for co...
