Abstract

In order to support 5G communication, this article suggests a small, four-port MIMO antenna with a G slot. This antenna has an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) in the shape of an S that is engraved on the substrate in the space between consecutive pairs of radiating patches. The recommended MIMO antenna is constructed from an FR4 substrate and measures 48x48x1.6 mm³. Between antenna elements 1 and 2, the integrated EBG structure of the MIMO antenna can reduce mutual coupling by 10.5 dB. The suggested four port G slot MIMO antenna with an S-shaped EBG structure displays the performance in terms of ECC less than 0.0002 and diversity gain larger than 9.99 with consistent frequency band extending from 3.3 GHz to 3.7 GHz. The proposed four port MIMO antenna is designed using HFSS software, and its simulation results are measured using anritsu combinational analyzer MS2037C vector network analyzer.
