Compact two-port MIMO antenna supporting the Sub-6 GHz 5G spectrum band of n77-n78

In this communication, a compact wideband anti-parellel 2-port T shaped MIMO antenna suitable for sub-6 GHz 5G applications is designed and analyzed with an 3.2–4.3 GHz operational bandwidth. The initial entity of the proposed MIMO antenna configuration consists of a T-shape radiating element with C shape ground plane on the same side of the dielectric materials. The 2- port MIMO module is achieved by taking the mirror image of the single entity about the x-axis. To justify the behavior of the designed module as an antenna, various antenna/diversity parameters are calculated and observed by simulating the module. Isolation greater than 18 dB, ECC which is a measure of independent pattern is computed and value of 0.001 is obtained, and achieved Diversity gain is more than 9.9 dB make the proposed module a potential MIMO antenna for upcoming fifth-generation wireless applications.
