Abstract

In this paper, a dual-band WiFi antenna and its Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system application is designed, fabricated, and measured based on the Chinese characters “Men” and “Wei”. The antenna uses a 40 × 40 × 1.6 mm3 FR4 substrate to analyze the combinatorial structure of Chinese characters using the theory of characteristic modes, to optimize the antenna dimensions by analyzing the mode current distribution, and to broaden the antenna bandwidth by etching rectangular slots on the ground. The measured and simulated results show that the four-element MIMO antenna covers 5.68–8.01 GHz, the isolation between the antennas is higher than 20 dB in the working band, the envelope correlation coefficient and the channel capacity losses of the simulation are lower than 0.001 and 0.18 bits/s/HZ, respectively. The efficiency of the antenna is higher than 90%, and it can be used for WiFi communication bands (5.8 GHz and 6 GHz).
