Two element MIMO antenna using Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) horn

摘要

This paper presents a two element Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system based on H-plane horn antenna. Surface Integrated Waveguide technology has been used in order to increase the isolation between antenna elements. The antenna operates at 3.8 GHz and has a gain of 7.92 dB, which make it suitable for wireless communication application. This antenna takes advantage of both MIMO systems and SIW. MIMO system provides high data rate with diversity performance while SIW technology makes it compact and planar.
