Summary: | In this project, a compact monopoles Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output MIMO antenna with size 40 × 42 mm2 that operates at 7 GHz is designed and proposed for 5th Generation mobile networks (5G) application. The antenna is built by using FR-4 substrate and it consists of two planar antenna elements which arranged orthogonally to provide a good isolation between them. To further enhance the isolation and decrease the mutual coupling effect, a rod-like parasite element is added in the design. Initial simulation result shows that the antenna can operate from 4 GHz to 9 GHz while measurement result proves that it can operate from 5.5 GHz to 9 GHz. Both results show that isolation is below −20 dB. |
