Design and Analysis of MIMO Configured Microstrip Patch Antenna for 5G Mid Bands and High Bands Applications

Abstract

The fifth-generation wireless technology which will operate at millimeter-wave newlinefrequency band also called 5G high band and the sub-6 GHz band also called 5G mid band, is newlinesupposed to overwhelm the shortcoming of the existing wireless communication technology. newlineAt present, the digital society suffers from low data rates, high latency, weak connectivity, newlineand many other similar issues which prevent the users from fully leveraging the technology. newline5G emphasizes long-distance communication having larger bandwidth to accommodate more newlineusers along with the reduced latency as well as compact devices. To procure such newlinecharacteristics, antennas should be versatile to cover most of the aspects of the fifth newlinegeneration. newlineThe 5G system is expected to have a data rate 1000 times higher compared to newline4G communication system. By incorporating multiple transmissions as well as the newlineantennas and by decreasing multipath fading effects, the data rate can be increased newlinein MIMO antennas. One of the keys to increasing the channel capacity of MIMO newlinesystems is to design multiple antennas for independent channels. In addition, newlinethe antennas should be small and low-profile that can easily fit into hand-held newlinedevices. Furthermore, a low mutual coupling MIMO antenna is required for 5G newlinemobile communication system. newline
