Abstract
A two-port small Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna for Ultra-
Wide Band (UWB) applications is shown in the proposed study. The an-
tenna is constructed with two identical radiators and measures 20 × 44.1 ×
1.6mm\textsuperscript{3} overall on a FR4 substrate. A 50-microstrip line
feeds the specified antenna. To provide strong isolation between the MIMO
antenna elements, the proposed antenna incorporates extended F-shaped stubs
into the shared ground plane. The ground plane is modified to incorporate ex-
1
tended F-shaped stubs, which result in multiple resonance and strong isolation
between the radiating parts. The antenna delivers good impedance matching
in the UWB band. From 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, the suggested antenna has a lower
isolation of less than -25 dB and an envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) of
less than 0.015. Antenna characteristics are assessed over time.

\textbf{1. Introduction}
In 2002, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) allocated the unli-
censed UWB frequency band from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz {[}1{]}. Over the past decade,
UWB technology has received a lot of attention and tremendous progress due to
increasing data rates and channel capacities. However, UWB technology suffers
from multipath fading effect and has poor indoor coverage {[}2{]}. To address
this issue, a MIMO antenna has been designed on the transmitter and receiver
side for UWB applications. MIMO antennas allow communication systems to
improve communication efficiency, enhance coverage, and increase channel ca-
pacity {[}3{]}. UWB MIMO antenna must be small in design and easy install
in portable devices. The enhanced features of MIMO UWB antennas such as
high data rate and exclusion from interference make it a perfect candidate for
wearable applications. To meet these objectives, many techniques for MIMO
antennas have been presented in the literature {[}4-5{]}. Weak isolation be-
tween the elements of MIMO antennas occurs when they are arranged in a
small area. The objective of present research is to design a MIMO antenna with
reduced dimensions and improved isolation. For UWB applications, different
antenna forms have been suggested {[}6-8{]}. MIMO antennas are made up of
many antennas that must have strong isolation and be compact in size. Various
approaches,
Such as Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG), Complementary Split Ring Res-
onator (SRR), Defected Ground Structure (DGS), Decoupling Stubs and Neu-
tralisation Line, have been employed toproduce high isolation and small dimen-
sions {[}9-18{]}. In {[}9{]}, antenna elements are perpendicular to each other
to produce high isolation and polarization diversity. To reduce mutual coupling,
a parasitic T-shaped strip is used between the radiating components as a decou-
pling structure. The impedance bandwidth of antenna is from 3.1 to 11.08 GHz
and Lower than - 15 dB mutual coupling exists between ports. Size of antenna
is 38.5 × 38.5 mm2. In {[}10{]}, Two antennas are placed orthogonal to each
other. To reduce electromagnetic interference and improve isolation metamate-
rial unit structure is used. Isolation of an antenna is less than 25, impedance
bandwidth is 65.5\% and overall dimension of substrate is 40 × 80 mm2. Shunt
3
short-circuited stubs and three inter digital edge coupled microstrip lines, are
used in feedline in {[}11{]}, to obtain frequency cut-off and improve selectivity.
The impedance bandwidth of an antenna is from 3.1-10.6 GHz. The size of
antenna is 68 × 35 mm2. A multi-branch stub with square monopole antenna
is constructed in {[}12{]} to decrease mutual coupling. The antenna dimension
is 40 × 20 mm2. Resonating frequency is from 3-11 GHZ and isolation is less
than -15 dB. In {[}13{]}, F-shaped stub is used in ground plane to achieve high
isolation. Overall size of antenna is 50 × 30 mm2 with impedance bandwidth is
from 2.5--14.5 GHz. In {[}30{]}, a hexagonal ring components MIMO antenna
is presented. Arc-shaped stub is used to achieve good isolation on 45 \emph{×}
25mm2 substrate.
Antenna isolation is greater than -15 dB, and the impedance bandwidth from
3.1-12 GHz. UWB-MIMO antenna with GSM band is presented in {[}15{]}.
Antenna design on 36 \emph{×} 45 mm2 substrate with frequency band from
3.01-12.5 GHz. The isolation is less than -20 dB. In {[}16{]}, T-shaped stub is
used to reduce mutual coupling of an antenna. The overall length of antenna
is 24 \emph{×} 32 mm2 with 3.1--12.5 GHz frequency band. T-shaped stub
is used to minimize the mutual coupling is presented in {[}17{]}. The over-
all dimension of an antenna is 26 \emph{×} 28 mm2. In {[}18{]}, circular
shape MIMO antenna is presented. Decoupling structures are used in the top
and bottom layers of the substrate to reduce mutual coupling. Size of antenna
is 40 \emph{×} 40 mm2 with operating frequency is from 3.1--11 GHz. The
planar microstrip array antenna with a 4 × 4 modified Butler matrix is pre-
sented {[}21{]}. An effective method to suppress mutual coupling between two
substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antenna arrays is presented {[}22{]}.
The antenna structures in {[}9-15{]} have large dimensions. In {[}16-17{]}, an-
tenna size is small, but isolation is low. A compact two-port MIMO antenna for
UWB applications is proposed. The MIMO antenna is made up of two identical
radiating components arranged in the shape of a right triangle. To achieve high
isolation, extended F shapes of stubs are used in the ground plane. S12 \text-
less{} -25dB is obtained over the frequency range 3.1-10.6 GHz. The antenna
has a stable radiation pattern with an ECC of 0.01. The antenna is smaller in
size than the most recent reported antennas.
The structure of the MIMO antenna constructed on a 20 × 44.1 × 1.6
mm\textsuperscript{3} substrate is illustrated in Figure 1. The effect of with
and without stubs in the ground plane are discussed in this section. The
proposed antenna is built on a FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of �r =
4.4 and a loss tangent of 0.02. The antenna is made up of two right triangle
radiating elements connected by a 50 Ω microstrip line. The centres of the
radiating elements are separated by 26.5 mm. The antenna’s structure must
be small enough to accommodate the space between the two patches with
distances between them of about �0/2 (�0 is the free space wavelength), in case
of the distance between the patches is larger than �0/2, the mutual coupling
is already small. Mutual coupling among neighbouring antenna elements can
take place when antenna elements are close to each other, this effect can
4
reduce MIMO channel capacity. The feed line length and width are 6 and 3
mm, respectively. The ground plane width is the same as the width of the
antenna, and its length is 4.47 mm. F type stubs are utilised in the ground
plane to increase impedance bandwidth and isolation. The optimized antenna
parameter is shown in table 1. We have added design equation, relationship
between the distance the antennas and impact of the distance between the fed
points on input impedance are added in the revised manuscripts.
All simulations were performed using High Frequency Simulation Software
(HFSS) to validate the provided antenna. Figure 2 depicts the total impact of
ground on MIMO antenna bandwidth and impedance of an antenna. Figure
2 shows that antenna bandwidth increases, and impedance is matched at 4.2
mm ground length, which is the offered antenna ground length. In this design,
an F-shaped decoupling stub is employed between radiating components to
provide good isolation between MIMO antennas. The evaluation steps of
without stub and with extended F shaped stub structure for the proposed
antenna are depicted in Figure 4. The initial stage is to develop and verified
results a plain traditional ground plane. In the second step, an F-shaped stub
is attached to the ground plane for customization. The F-shaped stub will
provide desirable increased isolation.
\textbf{1.1 Overview}
The word ‘Ultra wide band (UWB) commonly refers to signals or systems that
either have a large relative, or a large absolute bandwidth. The frequency band-
width of an antenna can be expressed in terms of either the absolute bandwidth
(ABW) or the fractional bandwidth (FBW). Assuming that the antenna band-
width has a lower edge frequency of fL, an upper edge frequency of fU and a
center frequency of fC. The ABW is defined as the difference between the upper
and the lower edge frequencies of

\textbf{Figure 1.1 UWB versus other radio communication systems}
\textbf{High Bandwidth}: According to the FCC definition of UWB system,
any transmitting system, which transmits signals in a bandwidth greater than
500 MHz or 20\% bandwidth. UWB technology works in the bandwidth range
of 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz
\textbf{Low power spectral density}: The main reason of the UWB technology
to co-exist without causing interference to other services such as GPS, WLAN,
WiMAX, Wi-Fi and cellular network system is low power spectral density .
\textbf{Low Cost}: UWB technology did not required any carrier signal for
transmission. Also, there is no need for a Radio Frequency (RF) converter or
modulator. Hence, transmitters and receivers are simpler and easier to design
and implement at low cost.
\textbf{Low Power Consumption}: UWB technology needs less than 1 mW of
5
power to transmit hundreds of Kbps as far as 5 meters due to absence of carrier
signal. Thus, UWB devices operate efficiently at low power levels.
\textbf{High Data Transfer Rates}: The data transmission is done over high
transfer rates of 500Mb/s over 5m, 250Mb/s over 10m, 200Kb/s over 50m,
10Kb/s over 100m due to availability of enormous amount of bandwidth.
\textbf{Secure}: UWB technology operates on a wide bandwidth at very low
power level, which generates low probability for intercept thus making it highly
secure. Practically, it is highly difficult to filter a pulse signal from a background
of electronic noise. Thus, it becomes almost impossible for external user to
detect the signal
UWB data transmission behavior is significantly different from conventional nar-
rowband RF and spread spectrum (SS) technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi,
as it does not requires carrier signal to transfer information. A UWB transmitter
works by sending billions of pulses of low duty cycles across 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz
at a limited transmit power of -41dBm/MHz, which transmits with power level
less than one thousand times of an average cell phone. Due to the low emission
limit on power, the other radio systems consider UWB signal as noise, which
results in a low probability of interception and detection. The corresponding
receiver then translates the received sinusoidal pulses into data. These pulses
are carrying information in coded form and extremely brief with a capacity of
almost unlimited number of users, which improves speed by listening for a fa-
miliar pulse sequence sent by the transmitter . UWB share the same wireless
transmission medium with a number of users simultaneously transmitting pulses
using spread spectrum technology. Therefore, UWB provides a superior wireless
connectivity among WPAN devices due to its high data throughput potential in
short-range at very low power. UWB operates in single-band mode and multi-
band mode; single-band mode is similar to spread spectrum technology, whereas,
in case of multi-band mode whole frequency spectrum is divided into smaller,
non-overlapping bandwidths above 500 MHz. Multi-band is favored because it
uses complete UWB spectrum to send coded pulses.
\textbf{1.2 MOTIVATION}
In recent decades, UWB technology has advanced significantly. Despite
UWB\textquotesingle s potential and opportunities, fully deploying the tech-
nology remains a challenge. Coexistence with other narrowband communication
systems, which causes interference, is one of the major challenges in imple-
menting UWB MIMO antenna. However, after fabrication, the band-notched
frequency of UWB MIMO antennas is uncontrollable and also static, failing to
meet the real-time reconfigurability requirement. As a result, the reconfigurable
technique has received a lot of attention in the field of wireless communications.
The motivation for this study is the design of a compact UWB MIMO antenna
with tunable band notched characteristics. Several band-notched and tunable,
reconfigurable antennas have been developed and investigated in recent years.
However, these antennas had the issue of a poor band notch frequency that
6
could not be tuned continuously, as well as large dimensions, which made
them unsuitable for today\textquotesingle s applications. Compact band notch
reconfigurable MIMO antennas are required in the current 9 scenario. As a
result, downsizing of UWB MIMO antennas with band notch and tunable band
notch has become an interesting research area.

onator and Parasitic Elements which are discussed in detail. The main attention
is paid on factors such as total number of bands rejected, size of antenna and

vesting: From Information Theory to Green Systems” Harvesting energy from
ambient environment is a promising technology to free electronic devices from
electric wire and lifetime-limited battery, which have found many significant ap-

the fundamental limit of information transmission in a wireless communication
system with RF-based energy harvesting, where a master node acts both the in-
formation source and the energy source for a child node, while only information
is transmitted back from the child node to the master node. In the systemic
level viewpoint, we jointly investigate the two way information transmission be-
tween the two nodes under the unique external power supply constraint at the
master node. In particular, three typical receivers are considered, including the
optimum receiver, the orthogonal receiver and the power splitting receiver.

\textbf{2.2 Research Gap}
1. Reported UWB band notch MIMO antennas suffered the problem of poor
rejection at notched frequency that cannot be tuned continuously and relatively
large sizes; making them unsuitable for the present-day applications.

The third focuses on reconfigurable or continuously tunable band notch fre-
quency of UWB MIMO antenna and 5G antenna using active elements like PIN
diode, varactor diode or MEMS switch.

\textbf{3. Contributions}
\textbf{3.1 \href{[Link]
Two-Port MIMO Antenna with High Isolation for UWB Applications}}
The proposed research presents a two-port compact Multiple Input Multiple
Output (MIMO) antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) applications. The de-
signed antenna has two identical radiators and has an overall dimension of 20
× 44.1 × 1.6mm3 on a FR4 substrate. The designed antenna is fed by a 50-
microstrip line. Extended F-shaped stubs are introduced in the shared ground
plane of the proposed antenna to produce high isolation between the MIMO an-
tenna elements. Extended F-shaped stubs are introduced in the ground plane to
produce multiple resonance and high isolation between the radiating elements.
The antenna offers good impedance matching in the UWB band. The proposed
antenna has lower isolation \textless{} -25 dB and Envelope Correlation Coef-
ficient (ECC) \textless{} 0.015 from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. Antenna parameters are
evaluated in term of return loss, ECC, Diversity Gain (DG), gain, Total active
reflection coefficient (TRAC) radiation pattern and isolation. The proposed an-
tenna is tested and fabricated. However, obtained results are good agreement
which make suitable for UWB wearable applications.
\textbf{3.2 Design and Analysis of Enhancing Impedance Bandwidth and high
Isolation Characteristics of UWB MIMO Antennas}
A small dual band-notched two port multiple input and multiple output antenna
with low mutual coupling for ultra-wide band systems is the subject of this
planned research study. The two identical monopole elements are fed by two
50Ω coplanar waveguide lines, making the total antenna dimensions of 18 X 29.5
X 1.6 mm³. Manufactured side by side on the upper surface of FR-4 ground
plane substrates.A T-shaped stub was substituted for the rectangular stub in
order to lessen the mutual coupling between the parts. The suggested antenna
covers the UWB spectrum and records a wide resistance bandwidth at each
17
port between 2.3 and 12GHz. This antenna has a modest size and design. The
element\textquotesingle s mutual coupling is less than -20 dB. Efficiency is 85\%
and the envelope correlation coefficient is less than 0.04. Evaluation of antenna
parameters is done in terms of return loss, gain, DC, and ECC.
\textbf{3.3 A UWB Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Reconfigurable Antenna}
An ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna
that is programmable is shown in this work. The frequency range covered by
the described antenna is 11:1 from 440 MHz to 5 GHz. while maintaining a
small footprint for MIMO applications. By combining a UWB monopole an-
tenna with a tunable matching network via two distinct signal routes from a
single feed point, the ultra-wide band functionality is achieved. The UWB an-
tenna functions across the remaining frequency range, whereas the adjustable
part spans the 440 MHz to 700 MHz range. Orthogonally positioning two identi-
cal UWB antennas on the same substrate allows for the construction of a MIMO
configuration and polarization diversity. The presentation of MIMO diversity
parameters and the reflection coefficient for the complete operation region is
made.
