A Compact Quadruple-Band Circular Polarized MIMO Antenna With Low Mutual Coupling

This document presents a compact quadruple-band circular polarized MIMO antenna designed for wireless communication applications, achieving low mutual coupling and high isolation. The antenna operates at four frequency bands (3.85-4.25 GHz, 4.95-5.1 GHz, 6.94-7.35 GHz, and 8-8.3 GHz) with a compact size of 0.34λ × 0.13λ × 0.01λ at 4 GHz. Simulation and measurement results demonstrate that the antenna maintains an axial ratio of less than 3 dB and superior performance compared to existing designs.

Actually, using different shapes of the irregular parasitic ele-


ment will help to generate the circular polarization. As shown
in Fig. 2(d), without any decoupling structure, the MIMO
antenna doesn’t work as a circularly polarized antenna. After
appending the irregular structure, the value of axial ratio tends
to 3 dB but the proposed MIMO antenna is still not circu-
larly polarized as the AR > 3 dB. Further modification in
the structure (from an irregular structure to an irregular dotted
structure) provides an AR band < 3dB of 3.8-4.2 GHz, 4.75-
5.2 GHz, 6.9-7.15 GHz, and 8-8.4 GHz, respectively. It is
because the parasitic element with dots serves as a supplemen-
tary radiating source, which generates additional resonances in
axial ratio bandwidth. This dotted slot influences the current
distribution and the electric field.
