Abstract
This paper presents a dual-band 8-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna specifically designed for fifth-generation (5G) smartphones, featuring two open-slot metal frames. To enhance impedance matching and improve isolation between adjacent antenna elements, each antenna element employed a coupling feed. All simulation results in this paper come from Ansys HFSS. The operational frequency bands of the proposed antenna spanned 3.36-4.2 GHz for the lower band and 4.37-5.95 GHz for the higher band, covering 5G New Radio (NR) bands N78 (3.4-3.6 GHz) and N79 (4.4-4.9 GHz), as well as WiFi 5 (5.15-5.85 GHz). Notably, the antenna demonstrated outstanding isolation exceeding 16.5 dB within the specified operating bands. The exceptional performance positions the proposed antenna as a promising candidate for integration into 5G metal-frame smartphones.
