Design of an MIMO dielectric resonator antenna for 4G applications

A two-port MIMO Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) has been proposed and studied. The antenna consists of a single Rectangular DRA (RDRA) element housed in a thin FR4 substrate, that is fed by two microstrip feed lines. Both the feeding lines excite (Formula presented.) mode in the RDRA. The mutual...
