Abstract
—A compact ultra-wideband (UWB) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna with a notched band is presented. The proposed design consists of four unipolar UWB radiators, and these monopole radiators are placed perpendicular to each other to exploit polarization diversity, where the four-element ultra-wideband (UWB) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna is presented. The total size of the antenna is 60x60 mm2. The operating frequency of the antenna is 3.1–11 GHz with a return loss of less than 10 dB, except at the notched band of 4.9– 5.9 GHz. This antenna consists of an isosceles trapezoidal plate with a circular notch cut and two transitional steps as well as a partial ground plane. For UWB bandwidth enhancement techniques: use of a partial ground plane, and modify the gap between the radioactive element and ground plane technique, using steps to control the resistance stability and a notch cut technique. The notch cut from the radiator is too used to reduce the size of the plane antenna. The measured -10 dB return loss bandwidth for the designed antenna is about 116.3% (8.7 GHz). The MIMO antenna does not require any additional structure to improve insulation. The proposed antenna supplies an acceptable radiation pattern and relatively flat gain over the entire frequency band.
