A triband swastika shaped patch antenna with reduced mutual coupling for wireless mimo systems

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

A novel compact Swastika shaped patch antenna is designed in the present work, which can be used for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems. The proposed two element MIMO system resonates at a triband of 3.3 GHz, 5.8 GHz, and 7.1 GHz with an improved impedance bandwidth of 37% and a reduced mutual coupling of −33 dB. These results are better compared to a normal E shaped patch antenna designed with same size and thickness, achieved without using any additional decoupling methods. A 2×2 MIMO system employing the Swastika shaped patch antennas is analyzed using computational electromagnetic ray tracing software for an indoor environment. The results show an improvement in the capacity compared to a 2×2 MIMO system developed with dipole antennas. The proposed antenna is a good choice for MIMO systems operating for several Ultra WideBand (UWB) applications.
