Miniaturize Dual-Band Open-Loop Resonator-Based MIMO Antenna With Wide Bandwidth and High Gain

Abstract

This paper proposes and analyzes a 2 × 2 multi-input multioutput antenna based on an open-loop resonator structure and an inverted L structure. The top layer of the antenna uses symmetric inverted hook-shaped and inverted L branches and is connected to the bottom layer of the dual-feed port and the ground plane using the VIAs, respectively. The open-loop resonator structure at the bottom of the antenna and the top layer of the branched circuit are resonated to provide wide-bandwidth and dual-frequency characteristics. The substrate uses FR4 with an area of 40 × 30 × 0.8 mm³. Although the two antenna feed ports are very close to each other, using via to connect the defective bottom ground structure and the top inverted L-shaped branch, the isolation still achieves an excellent performance of 15 dB. The antenna has multiband application characteristics, and the bands include 2.29–5.51, 6.14–10.26, 2.29–5.33, 5.19–6.64, and 6.78–10.16 GHz. In pattern and MIMO transmission efficiency measurement, the peak radiation efficiency is 89%, the peak gain is 8.5 dBi, and the ECC is less than 0.034. In the transmission efficiency measurement mode using 64-QAM, watching the error vector magnitude at 2.56 and 5.11 GHz, the demodulation effect is very good, and the respective throughput results are 100% and 79.2%. The broadband characteristics of the antenna have a variety of applications, and it is simulated at the specific absorption rate, which meets the standards set by the Federal Communications Commission and is very suitable for use in wearable devices. The antenna can be applied to the X-band, n77, n79, Sub-6 GHz, WiMax, DSRC, WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, WiFi 7, C-V2X, and C-band.
