Complementary split ring resonator based massive mimo antenna system for 5g wireless applications

—A MIMO antenna for smartphones with radiation diversity is presented in this article. The proposed design consists of dual-fed Complementary Split Ring Resonator metamaterial antenna components in design, which is located at the edges of an FR-4 substrate. The total dimension is 75 mm × 150 mm × 1.6 mm. 50-ohm dual microstrip feed lines placed orthogonal to each other are used to feed the SRR. Due to this orthogonality, radiation diversity is easily achieved. The proposed structure is operated in dual bands from 3.43 GHz to 3.62 GHz and 4.78 GHz to 5.04 GHz. In both bands, good impedance bandwidth with a reasonable gain is achieved. The entire structure is simulated using CST EM software. All the simulated results are presented, which clearly show that the proposed structure is a good candidate for the future smartphone massive MIMO application. © 2021, Electromagnetics Academy.
