Abstract

In this paper, we propose 2.6 GHz single band dual polarization MIMO omni antenna for in-building applications. The proposed antenna operates at 2.6 GHz single LTE band, Up-link 2.52~2.54 GHz and Down-link 2.64~2.66 GHz. Horizontal and vertical polarizations of the antenna has been, respectively, constructed by the synthesis of four folded loop antennas and the folded monopole antenna. The height of the MIMO omni-directional antenna is minimized to be less than ${\lambda}/13.5$ from the ground. The measurement results show excellent MIMO omni antenna performance of 2.85 dBi vertical polarization gain, 2.29 dBi horizontal polarization gain, and 19.25 dB port isolation.

본 논문에서는 2.6 GHz의 단일 대역의 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Ouput) 무지향 안테나를 제안한다. 2.6 GHz 단일 LTE(Long Term Evaluation) 대역 Up-link 2.52~2.54 GHz, Down-link 2.64~2.66 GHz에 동작하는 옥내용(in-building) MIMO 무지향 안테나로서 폴디드 루프(folded loop) 안테나 4단을 빔 합성을 통해 수평 편파를 구현하고, 폴디드 단극자(folded monopole) 안테나를 이용하여 수직 편파를 구현하였다. 폴디드 루프 안테나의 높이를 접지면으로부터 ${\lambda}/13.5$로 설계하여 MIMO 무지향 안테나의 높이를 최소화 하였으며, 수직편파 및 수평면파에서 각각 2.89 dBi 및 2.07 dBi 이득, 포트 분리도(port isolation) 19.32 dB의 우수한 MIMO 무지향 안테나 측정 특성을 얻었다.
