Bhaghyashree Sharma, Rajeev Mathur, K.C. Roy . Antenna Array with Reduced Inter-Element Displacement for Wireless Communication. Communications on Applied Electronics. 3, 2 ( October 2015), 23-26. DOI=10.5120/cae2015651879
The paper proposes a novel antenna array design of patch antenna loaded with split ring structure, in the frequency band 2.7GHz. First, single structure was designed and analyzed then an array was constructed to increase the Directivity & Gain. Correlation co-efficient of array was calculated to find its suitability in MIMO specific applications. Three arrays were designed by varying inter-element displacement then a comparison was made to deduce the suitability of antenna in MIMO specific applications. Purpose of reducing inter-element displacement is to reduce the size of array The performance of the array was investigated in terms of relevant parameters viz. impedance bandwidth, gain, axial ratio and efficiency. The proposed antenna with reduced inter-element displacement exhibits good performance in terms of radiation efficiency and impedance bandwidth. Hence could be suitable candidate for wireless communication.
