Abstract
A compact shaped multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for UWB application is addressed in this study. The proposed design is composed of two hour glass shaped monopole radiating element, a T-shaped grounded stub and Y-shaped slot on the ground plane to reduce mutual coupling. The performance parameters of this antenna are analysed in terms of reflection coefficient (S 11 /S 22 ), transmission coefficient (S 12 /S 21 ), radiation pattern and peak gain using ANSYS HFSS 14.0. The proposed design operating in the frequency range from 3.0 GHz to 30.0 GHz satisfying UWB criteria with an isolation of 30 dB and gain of almost 4 dB. A Y-shaped slot is etched in the ground plane to reduce the mutual coupling. The complete antenna dimension is 30 mm × 15 mm treating it as a compact antenna. The simulated results reveal that the antenna is a potential candidate for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications.
