Compact Fractal MIMO antenna for UWB applications
Authors: , , , ,
Abstract: In this article, a compact ultra-wide band (UWB) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system is showed. This antenna is based on fractal Fibonacci circles and operates over wide frequency range from 2.9 to 14.51 GHz. The dielectric used was Duroid substrate with dielectric constant εr = 2.2 and thickness of substrate 1.27 mm. This UWB MIMO antenna is simulated by HFSS. In order to improve the isolation between the elements of the antenna a parasitic structure is used, getting S12 and very low ECC. Also, the Total Active reflection Coefficient (TARC) was obtained. Proposed antenna can be used for UWB communication applications and its size is 64 × 38mm2
