摘要
In this study, a quad-port multi-polarized ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system with a new isolation technique is designed for wireless devices. The antenna structure consists of four triangular monopole elements and neutralization ring (NR) structures. The monopoles are back-to-back positioned in symmetrical and orthogonal arrangement. Therefore, they radiate towards four directions without interference, and thus the diversity performance is improved. A novel NR is formed by combining a rectangular ring and a straight line to reduce the mutual coupling due to interoperation of the elements. Each triangular monopole is fed by 50 Ohm microstrip transmission line (MTL) with a thin strip line for ensuring impedance matching. Antenna performance in terms of impedance bandwidth, current distribution, radiation pattern, peak gain and envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is also investigated. The MIMO antenna system has 3.1-17.3 GHz impedance bandwidth, 1-5 dBi peak gain variation, less than 0.1 ECC. The results indicate that the proposed antenna has the characteristics of larger UWB bandwidth, high isolation by the NR structure, multi-polarization, uniform gain and quasi-omnidirectional pattern.
