A Multiband Four Element MIMO Antenna For 5G Communication

Abstract

Spectrum and energy efficiency of latest systems needs upgrades without increasing the transmit power, so antennas need to be designed for such systems targeting the particular frequencies involved in modern 5G communications. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, outfitted with enormous number of antennas, can be utilized to improve the spectrum and energy efficiency of modern wireless communication systems. MIMO antennas appear as the most encouraging innovation in the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system. The project targets the popular 5G communication devices operating in the licensed bands of 5G in the region. In this study, we have designed a fractal shape 4 element multiband MIMO Antenna operating in the sub 6 GHz band of 5G communication. We have selected FR4 Epoxy (relative permittivity of 4.4) for the material of the substrate. We have given height of 1.6 mm to the substrate and have used modified Minkowski geometry for the fractal shape. Our project has two operating frequency bands.
