Abstract
AbstractIn this article, a dual sense dual port circularly polarized cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) is discussed for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) applications. Three exclusive features of the proposed radiator are (i) modified circule‐shaped aperture generates circular polarization for both the ports; (ii) proposed structure can generate left‐hand circular polarization (LHCP) and right‐hand circular polarization (RHCP) that depends on feed port selection; (iii) by introducing the concept of polarization diversity (LHCP/RHCP) and defected ground structure (DGS) between the two radiator, isolation is improved. A prototype of proposed radiator is fabricated and experimentally tested to authenticate the simulated results. The fractional impedance bandwidth for port 1 and port 2 is 15.1% and 14.9%, respectively. Within the targeted operating band, the isolation is better than −25 dB between the ports. Different diversity performance parameters are also calculated and they are also lie within their optimum limit. The proposed MIMO antenna is suitable for WLAN (5.5/5.8 GHz) applications.
