A compact, four-element planar MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) antenna that operates in an ultra-wideband is presented for diversity application. The orthogonal position of the unit cells replicates the single antenna thrice, thereby decreasing mutual coupling. A UWB MIMO antenna measuring 35 × 35 × 1.6 mm is built using a microstrip line (50 Ω impedance) on an FR4 substrate having a thickness of 1.6 mm. The ground plane and radiator of this antenna are adjusted in several ways to bring it within its operating constraints between the frequencies of 3.1 GHz and 10.6 GHz. This technique makes the antenna small and covers the entire ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency range. The NI USRP was used to test the proposed MIMO antenna to determine its real-time performance. Based on the computed results, we conclude that this proposed antenna has outstanding characteristics in terms of performance and is suitable for wireless ultra-wideband indoor communication and diversity utilization with a small size.

An eight-element MIMO antenna with a neutralization line was utilized for future 5G mm-wave applications. The MIMO configuration was designed for two ports, four ports and eight ports to validate the desired impedance and radiation characteristics. The measured results in terms of MIMO and scattering parameters correlate well with the simulated one.

In this paper, we propose a random frequency division multiplexing (RFDM) method for multicarrier modulation in mobile time-varying channels. Inspired by compressed sensing (CS) technology which use a sensing matrix (with far fewer rows than columns) to sample and compress the original sparse signal simultaneously, while there are many reconstruction algorithms that can recover the original high-dimensional signal from a small number of measurements at the receiver. The approach choose the classic sensing matrix of CS-Gaussian random matrix to compress the signal.

Holographic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) method leverages spatial diversity to enhance the performance of wireless communications and is expected to be a key technology enabling for high-speed data services in the forthcoming sixth generation (6G) networks. However, the antenna array commonly used in the traditional massive MIMO cannot meet the requirements of low cost, low complexity and high spatial resolution simultaneously, especially in higher frequency bands. Hence it is important to achieve a feasible hardware platform to support theoretical study of the holographic MIMO communications.

A multipurpose antenna system that can handle a broad area of frequencies is crucial in the effort to build up widespread 5G Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. For fifth-generation Internet-of-things applications, this research introduces a new multi-band antenna that can operate in the sub-6 GHz band (2-7 GHz), Ku-band (13-17.5 GHz), and millimeter wave band (25-39 GHz).
