Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 123, 45-52, 2024
Abstract
This article presents a quad port multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna based on arrays of rectangular dielectric resonators for intelligent automotive applications. The proposed MIMO antenna configuration is formulated by integrating four rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) arrays. Two RDRAs are configured as E-plane arrays and the other two as H-plane arrays. Each array consists of two radiating elements, evenly spaced apart. Direct microstrip line (DML) feeding, a novel kind of feeding technique to cope up with back radiation issue which occurs owing to discrete grooves on ground plane is employed to feed RDRA. The orthogonal mode in individual arrays (H-plane and E-plane) results in increased isolation. The overall dimension of the suggested quad port MIMO antenna is (2.21λ0×1.32λ0). The prescribed RDRA array operates at 5.9 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 6.9% for Port1 and 8.1% for Port2, respectively. The measured isolation is more than -24 dB. For this MIMO antenna measured peak gain of 9.6 dBi is noticed. Various MIMO performance metrics such as the total active reflection coefficient (TARC), diversity gain (DG), channel capacity loss (CCL), and envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) have been studied in detail and discussed in this article. It is noteworthy that these measurements continue to fall within allowable threshold ranges, indicating the appropriateness of the prescribed MIMO antenna for the intended applications in intelligent automotive system.
