This study proposes a novel approach to designing reconfigurable multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas operating at 26 GHz. The design process begins with determining the dimensions of polygonal patches using a transmission line model, followed by the implementation of quarter-wavelength transformers for the microstrip feed lines. The antennas are constructed on FR4 substrate, chosen for its accessibility and cost-effectiveness, with specific electromagnetic properties. A 2 x 1 MIMO antenna configuration is suggested by combining traditional polygon-type patch radiation antennas on a 50 mm x 30 mm ground plane. To address impedance mismatch issues when connecting reconfigurable antennas to a common feed line, an equivalent circuit model is employed. This model incorporates lumped elements such as capacitances, resistors, and inductors to simulate the antenna's behavior accurately. Adjustments to these components are made to achieve desired S11 and S22 characteristics. The proposed design is evaluated through simulations using HFSS and AWR, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving the desired performance metrics. Overall, this research presents a comprehensive approach to designing reconfigurable MIMO antennas, offering insights into practical implementation and performance optimization in wireless communication systems. |
