Reconfigurable MIMO Antenna for 5G Communication Applications

Abstract

The current article presents the design of reconfigurable multiband antenna fed by coplanar waveguide feeding using commercially available pin diodes. Multiple input multiple output structure is proposed to reduce the polarization diversity related issues. The designed antenna operating in the wideband with coverage in 5G band. The proposed model is showing huge bandwidth of almost 10 GHz with peak realized gain of 6.8 dB. Good impedance characteristics in the operating band with Omni directional radiation makes this model suitable for future communication applications.
