A Unique Multi-Band and UWB Four Element MIMO Antenna for 6G mmWave Band Applications
The current invention demonstrates a novel four element compact multi-band and ultra wideband MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) antenna. The suggested antenna is intended for use in the 6G mmWave band applications. It operates in four operational bands, the first of which has a frequency of 22.23 GHz for the stated band of 7-24GHz. The operational frequency of the second band is 34 GHz in the 32GHz band, while that of the third band is 43.69GHz in the upper 40GHz band. The fourth band’s operational frequency in the 50GHz range, which is 53.38 GHz. The exhibited 6G antenna measures 25 mm × 28 mm × 0.508 mm and is made of low-loss dielectric material Rogers RT/Duriod 5880 (tm) which has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.0009 and relative permittivity of 2.2.

THz antenna design for Global Wi-Fi Applications
Prospective bands for the upcoming version of wireless networks include those between 100 GHz and 3 THz. In addition, new ideas and technological advancements in circuits, signal processing, devices, and systems will open up new applications at these frequencies. Global Wi-Fi use at frequencies between 252 GHz and 325 GHz is going to create the first global communication standard for the 250–350 GHz frequency range.

Low Profile Triple-Band MIMO Antenna Using Grounded Coplanar Waveguide Feed for 5G Wireless Applications
The mm-wave MIMO antenna is a viable option for virtual reality services and the streaming of huge video material, however as of yet, 5G wireless technology-specific standards have not been developed or put into practice. Many scholars have begun to bring the standard's foundation, nonetheless. Few mm-wave MIMO antennas are therefore now available. There was a proposal for a MIMO antenna that used two linear arrays, each array having four cylindrical dielectric resonator antennas operating at 30 GHz. Beam tilting was achieved by means of a passive microstrip feed network.

A compact triple-band antenna is designed for internet of things (IoT) applications including Bluetooth, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, WLAN, industrial IoT (IIoT), Medical Body-Area Networks (MBAN), and Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) which are operating from 2 GHz to 5 GHz. The proposed antenna having tri-band response resonating at 2.44 GHz, 3.20 GHz and 5.05 GHz, while considering return loss S11< -10 dB and 3-dB bandwidths of 60MHz, 200 MHz and 270 MHz respectively at resonant frequencies. Moreover, the proposed antenna is presenting improved efficiency and gain according to the recent requirements of wireless networks. This antenna has reduced dimensions, ideal to be integrated in most of IoT devices. In addition, the parameters of an antenna such as ground plane, polygon slot and material structures are optimized for better performance.

In this work, a novel way of reducing mutual coupling and triple-ultra wideband (UWB) Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for 5G millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communications is proposed. The MIMO design consists of four antenna elements fed at the vertex. The antenna elements are loaded at the top and bottom of the substrate at a distance of 1.1 mm respectively to minimize the effect of mutual coupling. Thus, the isolation achieved a maximum of 36.26 dB. The dimension of the proposed MIMO antenna is 30 mm × 25 mm × 0.8 mm. A fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 51% (23.26-36.91 GHz) and a maximum gain of 10.27 dBi is achieved at 40.48 GHz. In addition, the radiation efficiency of more than 85% is obtained in the frequency range of 23.26 - 43.01 GHz. The peak envelope correlation coefficient of the proposed structure is less than 0.003. The designed antenna is simulated, fabricated and measured; a good agreement between simulation and measurement results were achieved. The performance of the proposed antenna is compared with the existing mm-wave MIMO antennas in literature.

A smaller microstrip antenna design is essential for current and future wireless applications. For the design proposed in this article, researchers achieved size reduction when a circular microstrip patch is loaded with a metamaterial structure using a complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) with partially loaded nonuniform metasurfaces (NUMSs) on a ground plane. The designed antenna achieved a size reduction of 74% compared to a conventional microstrip antenna. The proposed antenna, resonating at 6.22 GHz, is designed, fabricated, and tested, and the measured results are then compared with the simulations as well as with the designs reported in the literature. The proposed antenna can be used for wireless applications, such as an indoor base-station antenna for vehicle-tovehicle communications.

A simple hexa-band microstrip antenna is proposed in this work. The proposed antenna offers wide bandwidth due to utilization of heptagon and nonagon rings along with diamond slot. The antenna is designed, simulated, fabricated, and tested. The proposed antenna operates are Bluetooth & WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) (2.4-2.48 GHz), point to point terrestrial applications (4.4-4.6 GHz), satellite receiver (7.25-7.75 GHz), satellite communication from earth to space (7.9-8.4 GHz), search and rescue transponders for reception (9.2-9.5 GHz) from X-band radars, ground penetrating radar imaging systems (10.6-11.2 GHz). The proposed antenna is compact with the dimensions $25\\ \\mathbf{mm} \\times 25\\ \\mathbf{mm} \\times 1.6\\ \\mathbf{mm}$. At a resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz, the bandwidth is 0.24 GHz, whereas at 4.5 GHz it is 1.07 GHz. Ultra wide bandwidth is achieved over the range 6.01-11.52 GHz (5.51 GHz BW). Obtained average gain is 5.05 dBi with a maximum efficiency of 90.61%. Performance of the proposed antenna is compared with the existing works available in the literature. Measured performance metrics (Return Loss (dB), Gain (dBi), Efficiency (%) and Radiation pattern) are in close agreement with the simulated values.
