Dual-Port MIMO Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna for 4G-LTE Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

A Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) for 1.8 GHz Long Term Evolution (LTE) applications is investigated and presented. The antenna consisting of two rectangular dielectric resonator elements, both resonators are fed by microstrip feed line is etched on FR4 substrate. The simulated impedance bandwidth for port1 and port2 is 26.38% (1.6176-2.1093 GHz) and 26.80% (1.6146-2.1143GHz) respectively for |S11| ≤ -6dB, which can operate on LTE band 1-4,9,10,35-37 and 39. The gain of the MIMO RDRA is 3.2 dBi and 3.1 dBi at 1.8 GHz for port 1and port 2, respectively. The S-parameters, isolation, gain, and MIMO performance such as correlation coefficient and diversity gain of the presented RDR Antenna have been studied.
