Abstract

An ultrathin tunable antenna element and its multiport configurations for superwideband multiple input multiple output applications are proposed in this paper. The antenna element geometry includes an annular ring-shaped monopole radiator, two ear-shaped ellipses, and a defected partial ground plane. A graphene sheet is placed at the antenna's back side to improve the lower frequency and to achieve tunability. It has an overall volume of 25 × 25 × 1.6 μm³ while operating over a frequency spectrum of 2.3–> 80 THz with a peak realized gain of ~ 12.5 dB with stable radiation patterns. Two-port MIMO configurations (spatial diversity and pattern diversity) with overall volume of 25 × 56.25 × 1.6 μm³ while operating from 0.9 THz to > 80 THz and 2.02 THz to > 80 THz respectively are also analyzed. In addition to this, the extended versions of the spatial diversity configuration to four and six element spatial diversity MIMO configurations with dimensions of 25 × 118.75 μm² and 25 × 181.25 μm² respectively are also analyzed. All MIMO configurations exhibit isolation > 15 dB at maximum frequencies, ECC < 0.035, CCL < 0.4b/s/Hz, MEG ~ − 3 dB and TARC < − 10 dB without utilizing any isolation technique. Due to their super wide operational bandwidth, these antenna topologies are ideal for a wide range of applications, such as Industry 4.0, 6G, and ultrathin devices/systems.

易于扩展的频率可调超宽带MIMO天线太赫兹应用

提出了一种超薄可调谐天线单元及其多端口结构，用于超宽带多输入多输出应用。天线元件几何结构包括环形单极辐射器、两个耳形椭圆和有缺陷的部分接平面。石墨烯片被放置在天线的背面，以提高较低的频率并实现可调性。它的总体体积为25 × 25 × 1.6 μm3，工作频率为2.3 - 80太赫兹，峰值实现增益为~ 12.5 dB，辐射图稳定。分析了总体积为25 × 56.25 × 1.6 μm3、工作范围分别为0.9 ~ 80 THz和2.02 ~ 80 THz的双端口MIMO（空间分集和模式分集）配置。此外，还分析了空间分集配置的扩展版本，分别为尺寸为25 × 118.75 μm2和25 × 181.25 μm2的四元和六元空间分集MIMO配置。在不使用任何隔离技术的情况下，所有MIMO配置在最高频率下的隔离度为15 dB， ECC为0.035，CCL为0.4b/s/Hz， MEG为- 3 dB， TARC为- 10 dB。由于其超宽的操作带宽，这些天线拓扑非常适合广泛的应用，例如工业4.0,6G和超薄设备/系统。
