  • Design of an Eight-Element Double-Loop MIMO Antenna With Inverted-L Isolators

    by Jiun-Ian Tan, Sharul Kamal Abdul Rahim, Eng-Hock Lim, Fitri Yuli Zulkifli, Catur Apriono, Eko Tjipto Rahardjo

    For the first time, an eight-element MIMO antenna is designed by integrating four double-loop resonators with two pairs of inverted-L isolators. By superimposing the resonance modes of the double-loop antenna, the anti-phase currents of the loops can effectively be canceled out for achieving high isolation (S12), without requiring additional decoupling elements or lumped components. The isolators have successfully generated a null point near the operating frequency for further enhancing the isolation (S32) between the double-loop antennas. As a result, the proposed antenna can achieve good isolation levels of S12 <−21.3 dB and S32 <−29.5 dB across a 10-dB bandwidth in the N78 band (3.3−3.8 GHz) and each port provides over 78% of total efficiency and ECC below 0.01 in experiments.


  • A Low-Profile Top-Loaded Monopole Antenna for On-Metal RFID Tag Design

    by Jiun-Ian Tan, Yong-Hong Lee, Eng-Hock Lim, Fwee-Leong Bong, Boon-Kuan Chung

    For the first time, a novel low-profile top-loaded monopole antenna is proposed for on-metal omnidirectional tag design. Here, a square patch is loaded on top of a short monopole antenna to improve its input impedance and radiation efficiency. Subsequently, the tag antenna is shunt-fed (using both the direct-feeding and proximity-coupled-feeding methods) to further enhance its input impedance and omnidirectionality. As a result, the antenna impedance, radiation resistance, and radiation efficiency have all been enhanced significantly, as compared with a typical short monopole antenna. A C-shaped feedline, which is to shunt-feed the tag antenna, is also introducing additional inductance to the antenna impedance for attaining good impedance matching level. Despite having a profile of not more than one hundredth of the operating wavelength, the proposed tag antenna is still able to exhibit a strong and stable omnidirectional radiation pattern when attached on a metal. The proposed tag antenna, which has a size of $0.1069 \lambda \times 0.1069 \lambda \times 0.0098~\lambda $ , can provide a constant read range of ~9.2 m in all azimuthal directions, with a minimal fluctuation of 0.5 m at 0.910 GHz. The tag’s resonance remains stable and independent of the size and shape of the backing conductive platform.
