Design and Implementation of 10x10 MIMO Antenna for 5G-Based Vehicle to Everything (V2X) Communications at Sub 6 GHz

The massive MIMO has been adopted as important feature for 5G to enhance transmission performance at higher data rate and faster mobility. These MIMO features will boost the Vehicle to Everything (V2X) developments and enhance 5G to run software on the network instantaneously and latency free. This paper is addressed to report the design and implementation of the MIMO 10x10 antenna for 5G-based V2X communication in the sub 6 GHz. The antenna is designed to be placed on the top of the car at a working frequency of 4.6 GHz as one of the 5G spectrum candidates in Japan as the largest car manufacturer in Asia. We use antipodal bow-tie antennas with optimized configuration for best performance when installed on the top of vehicle platform. The final design of MIMO 10x10 was fabricated and carried out with parameter measurement and analysis and tested in the LOS and NLOS conditions scenarios
