Performance measures of mimo system using Csrr loaded miniaturized microstrip patch antenna

Abstract

MIMO technology has been used to increase the capacity rates and become an essential part in wireless communication systems. The challenging task in a wireless system is to design a compact size antennas. In this paper, a 4-Element metamaterial loaded microstrip patch antenna was designed. By using a CSRR loaded metamaterial DGS structure on the ground plane 50% of miniaturization was achieved. For the designed MIMO system the mutual coupling and the envelope correlation coefficient is less than-34 dB and 0.0.3. The other performance measures of MIMO system such as the TARC, Directive Gain and Return loss of the 4-element MIMO system are obtained to meet the MIMO system demands in real-time environment. The design was simulated using HFSS simulator software.
