A multipurpose antenna system that can handle a broad area of frequencies is crucial in the effort to build up widespread 5G Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks. For fifth-generation Internet-of-things applications, this research introduces a new multi-band antenna that can operate in the sub-6 GHz band (2-7 GHz), Ku-band (13-17.5 GHz), and millimeter wave band (25-39 GHz). The antenna achieves a remarkable three-band operational bandwidth through cleverly integrated slots and parasitic components. Maximum realized gain of 4.3 dBi in the sub-6 GHz band, 5.5 dBi in the Ku-band, and 9.9 dBi in the millimeter wave (mm-wave) band for 3D MIMO setup is ensured. In addition, the machine learning prediction is used to verify the single element realized gain, and the results demonstrate that it performs admirably with an accuracy of more than 89% using the random forest regression model throughout the entire frequency spectrum. A 6-port, one-of-a-kind MIMO design with strong diversity performance is built from the single-element configuration. This 6-port MIMO system uses a new codesign technique to achieve 360-degree coverage in the elevation and azimuth planes, exceptional isolation (21 dB at sub-6 GHz band, 25 dB at the Ku-band, and 30 dB at mm-wave band), and pattern diversity. This MIMO antenna module is a shining example of the future, with the potential to completely alter the state of affairs in terms of 5G IoT connectivity in settings such as smart homes, offices, cities, vehicle-to-everything communications, and broadcast satellite service (BSS).
一个能够处理广泛频率范围的多功能天线系统对于构建广泛的5G物联网(IoT)网络至关重要。对于第五代物联网应用,本研究推出了一种新型多频段天线,它可以在低于6GHz频段(2 - 7GHz)、Ku频段(13 - 17.5GHz)和毫米波频段(25 - 39GHz)工作。该天线通过巧妙集成的缝隙和寄生元件实现了显著的三频段工作带宽。对于3D MIMO设置,在低于6GHz频段实现的最大增益为4.3dBi,在Ku频段为5.5dBi,在毫米波频段为9.9dBi。此外,使用机器学习预测来验证单元素实现增益,结果表明,使用随机森林回归模型在整个频谱范围内其准确率超过89%,表现出色。基于单元素配置构建了一种具有强大分集性能的6端口、独一无二的MIMO设计。这个6端口MIMO系统采用了一种新的协同设计技术,以在仰角和方位平面上实现360度覆盖、出色的隔离度(在低于6GHz频段为21dB,在Ku频段为25dB,在毫米波频段为30dB)以及方向图分集。这种MIMO天线模块是未来的一个杰出典范,有可能在智能家居、办公室、城市、车联网通信和广播卫星服务(BSS)等场景中彻底改变5G物联网连接的现状。
