An eight-element, dual-frequency, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed. Cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas (cDRAs) were used as the radiating elements in the MIMO antenna system. One group of four cDRAs covers the 2.45GHz band, whereas another four cover the second band at 5.8GHz. A reflector element was also proposed to tilt the radiated beam patterns and reduce field correlations for the MIMO antenna system. The high-band antenna elements were rotated 45 degrees with respect to their low-band counterparts, on the antenna ground plan, for compactness and printed circuit board integration such that the complete antenna system occupies a volume of 160mmx160mmx14.8mm. The measured bandwidths (BWs) were at least 90 and 200MHz for the two bands of operation while the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) was <0.17. A study of different metallic reflectors was also provided in terms of the impedance matching, isolation, BW, andECC. Specific applications for the proposed design include wireless local area networks and other fourth generation access points.

A single-layer circularly polarized planar lens antenna at millimetre-wave

Samaneh Sadeghi-Marasht, Mohammad Reza Rahimi, Mohammad S. Sharawi, Anding Zhu

Summary: This paper proposes a novel single-layer planar lens antenna that can maintain circular polarization (CP) of the incoming CP wave and enhance the antenna gain. The symmetric design of the lens unit cell ensures a 90-degree phase difference and high amplitude between two modes of the incoming CP wave. The phase variations created by the designed unit cells result in antenna gain enhancement. The proposed lens is tested with two different feeding antennas and achieves high gains and an impedance bandwidth below 3 dB.

Design and demonstration of a 2.5D frequency-selective surface for sub-6 GHz 5G wireless communication

Kanishka Katoch, Naveen Jaglan, Samir D. Gupta, Mousa Abdollahvand, Mohammad S. Sharawi

Summary: This paper presents an ultraminiaturized bandstop closed-loop 2.5D frequency-selective surface (FSS) for sub-6 GHz 5G wireless communication. The proposed structure forms a modified closed-loop design by interconnecting metallic elements with four metallic vertical vias. It achieves a resonant notch at 3.62 GHz and effectively blocks the entire sub-6 GHz 5G band. The prototype shows good agreement between simulated and measured results and exhibits polarization insensitivity.

Diversity Order and Measure of MIMO Antennas in Single-User, Multiuser, and Massive MIMO Wireless Communications

Rakhesh Singh Kshetrimayum, Mohit Mishra, Sonia Aissa, Shiban K. Koul, Mohammad S. Sharawi

Summary: This letter calculates the diversity order (DO) and diversity measure (DM) of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas in various practical scenarios of single-user, multiuser, and massive MIMO wireless communications. These metrics are computed using the antenna correlation coefficient (ACC) matrix. The DO is obtained from the rank of the ACC matrix, while the DM is derived from the trace and Frobenius norm of the ACC matrix. Numerical results are presented, highlighting that the DM captures the impact of antenna correlation on diversity gain more effectively than the DO.

Wideband Circularly Polarized Millimeter-Wave DRA Array for Internet of Things

Hussein Attia, Ahmad Abdalrazik, Mohammad S. Sharawi, Ahmed A. Kishk

Summary: This paper proposes a novel millimeter-wave wideband circularly polarized antenna array for Internet of Things applications. The design uses elliptically shaped dielectric resonator antennas to improve radiation characteristics and achieve circular polarization. Two different sequential-phase corporate feed networks are studied to obtain wider impedance, gain, and axial ratio bandwidths. The proposed antenna exhibits an impedance bandwidth of 35%, a gain bandwidth of 19.3%, and an axial ratio bandwidth of 22.6%. The results show that this wideband circularly polarized antenna has potential in preventing polarization mismatch losses between IoT devices and satellites.

Chao Li, Mohammad S. Sharawi, Raj Mittra

Summary: An adaptive frequency sampling (AFS) strategy is proposed to reduce the solution time for wideband scattering from objects buried in layered media. The AFS algorithm selects frequency samples (FSs) based on error-estimators, minimizing the number of required samples while guaranteeing solution convergence. Numerical results show significant reduction in sample requirements without compromising accuracy.

Reza Shamsaee Malfajani, Hamed Niknam, Sampada Bodkhe, Daniel Therriault, Jean-Jacques Laurin, Mohammad S. S. Sharawi

Summary: This paper presents the concept of encapsulated dielectric resonator antennas (E-DRAs) where smaller-sized DRAs with a specific permittivity are embedded inside a larger DRA with a lower permittivity, enabling efficient radiation at two widely separated and widely covered frequency bands. The proposed E-DRAs cover the sub-6-GHz band and mm-wave band for 5G and beyond applications, and are fabricated using fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing process. The measurements show high gain and efficiency at both bands, with the achieved bandwidths being the highest among previous works on dual-band antennas.

Wideband Substrate Integrated Cavity-Backed Dielectric Resonator Antenna at Sub-6-GHz Band

Reza Shamsaee Malfajani, Jean-Jacques Laurin, Mohammad S. S. Sharawi

Summary: This paper presents the design and implementation of a wideband single-mode dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a substrate integrated cavity-backed structure. The DRA is excited by two short-circuited striplines inside the substrate integrated cavity (SIC) to provide stable radiation characteristics and low cross polarization levels. The coupling between the cavity and the cylindrical DRA is achieved through an annular slot, resulting in the excitation of the fundamental HEM11 delta mode over a wide frequency band. The measured performance shows a high gain of 8.2 dBi at 5.45 GHz and a 1-dB bandwidth of 23%.

A Graded Index All-Dielectric Lens for Field Decorrelation and Decoupling of a Wideband MIMO Antenna

Usman Qureshi, Muhammad Umar Khan, Mohammad S. Sharawi, Shah Nawaz Burokur, Raj Mittra

Summary: This paper presents a broadband graded index all-dielectric (GID) lens that enables field decorrelation and decoupling of closely spaced wideband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna elements. The proposed technique achieves a reduction in correlation coefficient rho by tilting the individual antenna element radiation patterns and suppressing surface wave propagation inside the antenna substrate using the concept of transformation electromagnetics (TE). Simulated and measured results validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, which provides reduced rho for both isotropic and non-isotropic propagation environments and enhanced port isolation without reducing the fractional bandwidth (FBW).
