Abstract

In this paper, a multiple antenna system for next generation mobile applications is proposed. The proposed MIMO antenna consists of two parallel folded monopole antennas with the length of 100 mm and spacing of 6 mm and a decoupling network which locates at the top side of a mobile handset. In order to improve the isolation characteristic at the LTE band 13, a decoupling network was added between the two antenna elements placed close to each other. The decoupling network, consisting of two transmission lines, a shunt reactive component and common ground line, is simple and compact. To obtain the wide bandwidth characteristic, an wide folded patch structure generating the strong coupling between feeding and shorting lines through the slit is used at the bottom side of a mobile handset. Also, the performance of a multiple antenna system composed of three antenna elements is analyzed.

본 논문에서는 차세대 휴대 단말기용 다중 안테나 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 MIMO 안테나는 상호 이격 거리가 6 mm이고, 100 mm 길이를 갖는 두 개의 평행한 폴디드 모노폴 안테나와 decoupling 네트워크로 구성되고, 휴대 단말기 상단에 위치한다. LTE 대역 13의 격리도 특성을 개선하기 위해서, 서로 가깝게 위치한 두 안테나 사이에 decoupling 네트워크가 삽입되었다. 제안된 decoupling 네트워크는 구조가 간단하고 위상 지연을 갖는 두 개의 전송 선로와 병렬 리액티브 성분, 공통 접지 라인으로 구성된다. 휴대 단말기 하단에는 광대역 특성을 얻기 위해 슬릿을 사용해서 급전 라인과 접지 라인 사이에 강한 전자기 결합을 갖는 넓은 폴디드 패치가 사용되었다. 또한, 이렇게 구성된 3개의 다중 안테나 시스템의 성능이 분석되었다.
