MIMO antenna performances on microstrip antenna with EBG structure for WLAN applications

摘要

A dual microstrip MIMO antenna with Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) structurespresented. EBG structures proposed in order to reduce the coupling between elements.Simulatedscattering parameters with and without EBG structures compared. An evaluation of MIMO antennacharacteristics is presented, with the analysis of the mutual coupling, correlation coefficients, totalactive reflection coefficients (TARC), capacity loss and channel capacity using ComputerSimulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio Software. The proposed antenna is a good candidate for WLAN practical applications
