| Summary: | Multiple Input Multiple Output (2x2MIMO)
patch antenna for multiband applications has been
proposed in this paper. The proposed design has reduced
the mutual coupling and enhance the bandwidth and
efficiency. The proposed 2x2 MIMO patch antenna is
simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST)
. The isolation ,bandwidth and efficiency are enhanced
by using groups of rings around the stepped cut at four
corner and mid slot separation on the radiating path of
the antenna. The bandwidth 1.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz, and
3GHz to 5.5 GHz are achieved. The rings used in this
design are essential for having more new resonant
frequencies. A novel concept of mid space separation on
the patch is used to improve the isolation. Coupling
coefficients of the simulated proposed antenna is found
lower than -10dB for all the desired frequencies(1.5GHZ,
1.8GHz, 2.4GHz, 3.5GHz,5.2GHz and 5.5 GHz. 9.99 dB
Diversity gain of the proposed 2x2 MIMO antenna system
is also achieved higher. Envelope correlation coefficient
(ECC) is less than 0.007 at the desired frequency bands .
This results implies that the proposed antenna system is
suitable for MIMO applications. Radiation efficiencies
are achieved above 70% for all desired frequencies .
Hence the final design of 2x2 MIMO patch antenna can
be used for GSM(1.5GHz), LTE (1.8GHz),WiFi (2.4GHz),
and WiMax (3.5GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.5 GHz) applications.
