PSO-CCO_MIMO-SA: A particle swarm optimization based channel capacity optimzation for MIMO system incorporated with smart antenna

With the radio channels physical limits, achieving higher data rate in the multi-channel systems is been a biggest concern. Hence, various spatial domain techniques have been introduced by incorporating array of antenna elements (i.e., smart antenna) in recent past for the channel limit expansion in mobile communication antennas. These smart antennas help to yield the improved array gain or bearm forming gain and hence by power efficiency enhanmaent in the channel and antenna range expansion. The use of smart antenna leads to spatial diversity and minimizes the fading effect and improves link reliability. However, in the process of antenna design, the proper channel modelling is is biggest concern which affect the wireless system performance. The recent works of MIMO design systems have discussed the issues in number of antenna selection which suggests that optimization of MIMO channel capacity is required. Hence, a Particle Swarm Optimization based channel capacity optimzation for MIMO system incorporated with smart antenna is introduced in this paper. From the outcomes it is been found that the proposed PSO based MIMO system achieves better convergenece speed which results in better channel capacity

A Compact 16-Port Fractal Shaped Slot Antenna Array for 5G Smart Phone Communications

In this manuscript, a 16-port compact multi-antenna array for fifth generation (5G) communications is presented. The proposed antenna offers high data rate communication, by using MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) wireless technology. Efficient bandwidth enhancement techniques are used to achieve wider bandwidth response i.e., 3.4-3.8 GHz within sub-6GHz. This system is realized over low-cost FR-4 laminate having dimensions of 64mm × 131mm. The fractal shape slotted radiators and open-ended square ring (OESR) isolating structures achieves at least 25dB isolations among antenna pairs while maintaining wideband response. The optimum isolation, low-cost design profile, matched scattering parameters without compromising compactness and acceptable specific absorption rate (SAR) makes this system a suitable candidate for 5G smart phone communications

This proposed antenna has six antenna elements that can operate in dual band sub-6 GHz for 5G band spectrums at 3.42-3.77 GHz and at 5.30-5.63 GHz. Every antenna element has an L-shaped slot in the ground fed by the same feedline that support the matching of the F-shaped microstrip lines. Important features of the anticipated layout are examined. It provides excellent efficiency at the operation band, appropriate isolation, adequate radiation coverage, and good S-parameters. Ant 3's provided the maximum return loss at 3.6 GHz which is-35 dB, whereas Ant 5 and Ant 6 provide the highest return losses at 5.4 GHz which is-38dB of the suggested dual-band frequency of 5G smartphones. To validate the exactness of the constructed MIMO antenna performances, the sample prototyping and experimentally measured outcomes were carried out in the Lab. Both simulated and measure result assessments revealed an extremely excellent understanding of both results. satisfactory input impedance and mutual coupling characteristics. Future smartphones can leverage the proposed design for high data-rate cellular connectivity because of these appealing properties.

A Compact MIMO Antenna Design Using the Wideband Ground-Radiation Technique for 5G Terminals

This paper introduces a 4 × 4 multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna application based on the conception of the characteristic mode of 5G terminals. The proposed antenna used a series capacitor and a parallel capacitor to control input impedance matching, while the resonance frequency was controlled by employing a resonance loop capacitor. In this way, we achieved a compact miniaturization antenna that uses ground radiation for the target 5G New Radio (NR) operating bands with n48, n77, and n78 bands. The simulation and measurement data revealed that the −6 dB bandwidth of the proposed antenna was approximately 1,240 MHz (ranging from 3.14 GHz to 4.38 GHz), while the efficiency also improved from 38.7% (reference) to 49.1% (proposed) within the 3 GHz to 4.6 GHz range. Furthermore, the radiation pattern exhibited satisfactory radiation performance. Therefore, it was concluded that the proposed 4 × 4 MIMO antenna set technology has promising prospects for application in 5G communication terminals in the future

A multi-band MIMO antenna system with coupled-fed modified rectangular patch elements for 5G systems

A four-port multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system constructed of four compact dual-band (38/60 GHz) microstrip patch antennas is proposed for 5G mobile applications. Each individual element is optimized to achieve the desired performance of the overall MIMO system. Numerical and experimental investigations are achieved to assess the performance of both the single-element antenna and the four-port MIMO antenna system. It is shown that the simulation results agree with the experimental measurements, and both show good performance of the proposed MIMO antenna system. The bandwidths achieved around 38 GHz and 60 GHz are about 2 GHz and 3.2 GHz, respectively. The performance of the MIMO antenna system including the return loss at each antenna port and the coupling coefficients between the different ports are investigated. The radiation patterns produced when each port is excited alone are shown to be suitable for spatial diversity scheme. They have a high radiation efficiency exhibited by a balloon-like shaped radiation pattern for both the upper and lower frequency bands. It is shown that the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) and the diversity gain (DG) are suitable for performance for the targeted 5G bands.</p
