Abstract

AbstractThis work deals with pattern diversity where a frequency selective surface (FSS) is utilized along with a cylindrical dielectric resonator MIMO antenna. Its salient feature is bi-directional pattern diversity characteristics. To achieve wider impedance bandwidth and better gain, the dielectric type, a resonator-based antenna has been used. With these features, able to achieve the reflection coefficient |S11| as low as −22.5 dB, and the isolation characteristics are also considerably low. The main lobe is tilted by 50° on either ports and a gain of 5.4 dB has been achieved. The antenna has the operating range in the sub-6 frequency band. It can be used for the applications of vehicular communication in an Intelligent Transport System (ITS).KeywordsFrequency Selective Surface (FSS)Cylindrical Dielectric Resonator Antenna (CDRA)Multiple Inputs Multiple Outputs (MIMO)Sub-6 bandVehicular communicationIntelligent Transport System (ITS)
