Abstract

Broadband printed dipole antenna with elliptical-arms and integrated balun for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennas at 2.4 GHz frequency is designed and presented. The MIMO structure is composed of four symmetrical dipole elements and a circular ground plane. To enhance the isolation between contiguous elements, they are placed in a perpendicular direction. Isolation of parallel dipoles with identical polarization is guaranteed by a suitable distance. Outstanding impedance matching, good isolation, high-gain, and stable directional radiation pattern are advantages of this design. Structural simplicity is achieved by printing dipole arms, balun structure, and the ground plane on FR4 substrates. The proposed MIMO antenna is manufactured and tested in the anechoic chamber. The empirical results have a proper discrepancy with the simulation outcomes.
