Özet

A planar and compact substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity backed antenna and a 2 x 2 multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna are presented in this study. The proposed antenna is fed by a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) to SIW type transition and planned to be used for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) fifth generation (5G) wireless communications that operates at 28, 38, 45, and 60 GHz frequency bands. Moreover, the measured impedance bandwidth (|S-11| <= - 10 dB) of the antenna covers 27.55 to 29.36, 37.41 to 38.5, 44.14 to 46.19, and 57.57 to 62.32 GHz bands and confirms the quad-band characteristic. Omni-directional radiation characteristics are observed in the far-field radiation pattern measurements of the antenna over the entire operating frequency. The reported antenna is compact in size (9.7 x 13.3 x 0.6 mm(3)) and the gain values at each resonance frequency are measured as 3.26, 3.28, 3.34, and 4.51 dBi, respectively. Furthermore, the MIMO antenna performance is evaluated in terms of isolation, envelope correlation coefficient and diversity gain.
