INTRODUCTION
Antenna

performance and size have a large impact on the development of wireless system. is more complicated to provide the typical parameters like Bandwidth, Efficiency, and Gain within the limited antenna volume. MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output). It is an antenna technology that is used both in transmission and receiver equipment for wireless radio communication.

INTRODUCTION OF MIMO

There can be various MIMO configurations. For example, a 2x2 MIMO configuration is 2 antennas to transmit signals (from base station) and 2 antennas to receive signals (mobile terminal).

MIMO VS SIMO/MISO

WHY MIMO?
Wireless channel that we are using is very unfriendly

Suffers from Cochannel interference and signal level fading It provides a limited bandwidth power falls off with distance There is always a need for increase in performance in wireless systems Significant increase in spectral efficiency and data rates High Quality of Service (QoS) Wide coverage, etc.

DIVERSITY PARAMETERS

We characterized the MIMO antenna through the diversity parameter. These parameters are following: Diversity Gain Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) Mean Effective Gain (MEG)

OBJECTIVE

HFSS SOFTWARE
HFSS stands for high frequency structure simulator, given by Ansoft corporation. It is high frequency full wave EM field simulator for designing 3D model. Used for designing antenna, filter, coupler, connector, coax and waveguide.

It can calculate parameter like S- Parameter, Radiation Frequency & field, VSWR, Return Loss.

DESIGN AND SIMULATIONS

We have done all the simulations on the software ansoft HFSS: 1. Configuration of antenna:

The proposed antenna has been designed on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.4 and
loss tangent 0.018. The size of ground plane of diversity antenna is chosen as 50 x 100 x 0.8 mm3. The proposed antennas are PIFA type and size of the antenna elements is 10 x 20 mm2. The PIFA are mounted at 4.8mm from the ground plane.
