Novel Flower-Shaped Multiple Input Multiple Output Dielectric Resonator Antenna

In modern communication systems, dielectric resonator antennas (DRA) play an important role due to its several advantages over contemporary antennas. In this paper, novel flower-shaped multiple input multiple output (MIMO) DRA is proposed for wireless applications in X- band. The proposed antenna with four ports displays more than -15 dB isolation between ports with defected ground technique. The antenna exhibits 7.2-7.5 GHZ impedance bandwidth and 4.66 dBi gain at 7.3 GHz. MIMO performance parameters: Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) and Diversity Gain (DG) of the proposed antenna are also studied and calculated.
