Abstract


This paper presents a single-layer, deca-band, shared-aperture MIMO antenna that utilizes composite-mode technology for microwave (Mw) and millimeter-wave (MMw) 5G applications. The antenna structure comprises a dual-slot substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW), an Inverted-L conventional metallic strip structure, and finite coplanar patches. The MMw radiator (slotted-SIW) is fed using a simple tapered 50 Ω microstrip feed line (Port 1), covering four MMw 5G bands. A dual-frequency single slot (Slot 1) is linked to resonant modes at 33 GHz and 38 GHz, while radiations at 28 GHz and 40 GHz are due to Slot 2 and finite coplanar patches, respectively. Port 2 feeds an asymmetrical T-shaped conventional metallic monopole strip, exciting six resonant modes at (1.6-6.0 GHz) and one MMw resonant mode at 28 GHz. Moreover, this paper extends the use of the mode-composite method to propose a tri-port MIMO antenna with a step impedance stop band resonator built on the SIW antenna. The paper obtains MIMO performance parameters, including S-parameters, envelope correlation coefficient, total efficiency above 73%, and radiation patterns, from both simulated and measured results. The achieved results demonstrate that the proposed antenna represents a favorable solution for current 5G applications. Finally, a general framework for the design of dual-mode composite antennas is presented to pave the way for interested antennas’ researchers.
