Summary: In this communication, a dual port printed multi‐input and multi‐output (MIMO) antenna with high isolation of dimension 12 × 8.5 × 0.8 mm3 is designed, analyzed, and investigated for 28‐GHz 5G mm‐wave applications. The metasurface layer is suspended over the MIMO antenna to convert the linearly polarized (LP) wave to a circularly polarized (CP) wave. The unit cell of the metasurface consists of a square‐shaped conducting strip with one side of diagonal points interconnected. The conducting strip and rectangular gap between the strips etched on the substrate are capable of generating the π/2 phase shifted electric field components (Ex and Ey) resulting in polarization conversion from LP to CP. The machine learning concept is used to characterize the dimensional configuration of the antenna to achieve the optimum throughput. The MIMO diversity performance parameters and antenna essential results are validated by the measured counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: A novel multiple‐input multiple‐output double asymmetrical cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (MIMO‐DCDRA) with modified stub line feed is discussed and proposed in this work. Two unequal CDRA are placed diagonally to each other and are electromagnetically coupled with feeding arrangement via two asymmetrical circular apertures. By performing the optimization of the dimensional parameters, a significant impedance bandwidth of 70.84% ranging from 2.87 to 5.76 GHz and axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 34.89% is obtained. Antenna gain is about 5.0 dBi within the operating frequency. The proposed MIMO‐DCDRA exhibits a low mutual coupling of (|S21| & |S12| < −20 dB) with the incorporation of a neutralization line. There are various diversity parameters that are also discussed in terms of mutual coupling, envelop correlation coefficient (ECC < 0.002), diversity gain (DG > 9.995), and channel capacity loss (CCL < 0.3 bits/s/Hz) over the entire impedance bandwidth.
