Abstract
K-band, as an important application frequency band in the microwave
frequency band, is widely used in wireless communication, RF
identification and civil radar. And K-band microstrip antenna has become
a research hotspot in recent years due to its advantages of small size
and good directionality. In this paper, a miniaturized Multiple-input
Multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is designed to widen the bandwidth of the
antenna by cutting the angle of the radiating patch and digging a slot
in the ground plane; meanwhile, a raised rectangular parasitic branch
with an open slot is placed on the ground plane and a Complementary
Split-Ring Resonator (CSRR) is etched to generate a resonance at a fixed
frequency point. resonance at a fixed frequency point, effectively
reducing the mutual coupling. The simulated and measured results show
that the overall size of the antenna is only 15×24×0.8mm3, the overall
isolation is less than -18.3dB in the operating bandwidth range of
17~27.2GHz(relative bandwidth reaches 46.2%), and the
Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) is less than 0.001, so the
designed K-band MIMO antenna has good radiation characteristics and gain
