Abstract
A printed monopole super wideband (SWB) antenna is presented in this paper. It consists of a beveled-shaped radiator and a tapered ground plane. It is investigated that tapering of the radiator and ground plane enhances the impedance matching and results in broad impedance bandwidth. The experimental result depicts that the antenna achieved 164.9% impedance bandwidth from 2.6 to 27.27 GHz. Furthermore, to prevent the interference caused by communication systems within the ultra-wideband (UWB) range, dual-band rejection at Wi-MAX (2.7–4 GHz). and X-band (8.5–12 GHz) are introduced by etching an H-shape and two back-to-back C-shaped notches in the radiator and feedline, respectively. The measured result demonstrates that both slots effectively reject the desired frequency bands with a small shift in the lower frequency edge from 2.41 to 2.6 GHz. In addition, the proposed antenna application is shown in the two elements MIMO system where a bowtie decoupling structure is utilized to improve the isolation. It is found that the presence of a decoupling structure improves the isolation by up to 60%. To characterize the diversity performance, parameters such as Diversity Gain (DG), Envelop Correlation Coefficient (ECC), Channel Capacity Loss (CCL), and Mean Effective Gain (MEG) are calculated and all are found in the acceptable limit.
