are placed over the top side, with the lower side integrated into the entire field level, operating at 4.3 and 6.1GHz applica-
tions. To validate the MIMO antenna performance, the measurement has been undertaken. The peak gain value obtained
with the proposed MIMO antenna is 7.6dB across the operating frequency of 43GHz. Additionally, polarization diversity
is reached with the developed MIMO antenna for superior isolation among the radiators adjacent to the outcomes compared

Introduction
Wireless local area network (WLAN) is a critical knowl-
edge that supports intrinsic high mechanical strength that
includes high security, transmission rate, low cost with
power consumption, and superior ratio for the signal to
noise factoring. The antenna’s performance is obtained
using an antenna with a MIMO structure [1]. Further-
more, a system with MIMO networking employs several
antennas as the transmitter (source) and receiver (destina-
tion), which further enhances quality assurance with the
communication superiority for capacity channeling to be
scalable. Predominantly, it confronts multiple fundamen-
tal issues: antenna size and impedance matching among
antenna segments within the system associated with the
MIMO antenna and another approach for dimension reduc-
tion for the antenna configuration associated with MIMO.
It was besides incorporating the decrease of the size of the
antenna. Because of this structure, mutual coupling occurs.
Mutual coupling is decreased using several isolation strat-
egies, such as antenna positioning as well as alignment [2,
3], decouple network [4, 5], parasitic element inclusion
[6, 7], neutralization section [8, 9], and even metamaterial
architecture [10, 11]. Abdulla etal. presented metamaterial
MIMO antennas with two elements. It comprises multiple
zeroth-order resonators for antenna size minimization,
and a DGS filter is used to prevent impedance matching.
Thummalaru etal. proposed a negative metamaterial two-
monopole antenna with the system attributed in decoupled
case [9, 10] as a substrate with polymer industrial glue is
employed in the covered case of an array of metamaterial
[11]. The creation of elements associated with the MIMO
antenna was propounded by Jusoh etal. to attribute the
encirclement of centering to the dimension of the plane
set for the surface moment. A partial strike of the surface
is required per the study of [12] to improve isolation. Mer-
ihpalankonden and colleagues created two dipole MIMO
antennas. A six-unit cell connects each dipole antenna.
To improve isolation, the slot has been fixed for the
truncation of the surface moved in the frequency range of
the plane set for the ground [13]. Nordin and collaborators
created the unit cell approach in coupling to the metama-
terial loaded in the process fed with the configuration of
the capacitive system [14]. Enhancing the isolation devel-
oped with the wavelength ended with the antenna in the
quartile field of the slot centered in the establishment of
created 3-looped monopole antenna that has been horizon-
tally positioned in the process [15]. Various configurations
associated with the antenna usage have been developed
by Chou etal., with later enhancement isolated with the
elements of the shaping mechanism built-in with the per-
formance of strip case in association with the employment
[16]. Indeed, the study developed by Mallahzadesh
etal. possessed the two E-shaped and encroached with
metaheuristics of 4 based segments dropped in the net-
work for the mechanism deprived of the allocated power
situated in isolation [17]. For isolation, a T-shaped para-
sitic element is used [18]. To eliminate mutual coupling,
radiating features have been developed by Kim etal. with
the integration of the reflectors that have come up with
the dimensional ratio of the electromagnetic case for the
probes built with the inductor designed for obtaining the
bandgap [19]. Krairiksh etal. created a circular ring with
two probes.
Respective antennas were designed for the configuration
of 4-systemized within the evolution of long-term basis
networking (LTE) system and universal mobile telecom-
munications system (UMTS) for the application of the cel-
lular system. On the contrary, the inductor coil has been
inserted within the probes, facilitating the improvisation of
the design set for the application of wireless systems [20].
Furthermore, the slot has designed feature in the process of
decoupled with the inverted ratio for the resonance occurred
with the complementary basis set the decoupled part in the
structure employed with dielectric resonator antenna (DGS)
concerned isolation with the incorporation of the comple-
mentary split-ring resonator (CSRR) [2136], with such a
varied scenario of metamaterial antennas with the distribu-
tion of MIMO set for the structural space for the mutual
elimination of coupling in the concerned application stage
isolated for the split slot in shaping the square structure
patch to develop the creation of a 4 × 4 Microstrip antenna
[3745].
Because of the extremely strong mutual decoupling
between the antenna parts, the propounded antenna is the
ideal option for wireless applications. As a result, ECC is
low, efficiency is high, and gain is increased. This work is
broken into four parts. “Proposed Layout” specifies antenna
identification and quantification, while “Scattering Param-
eters” displays performance analysis with an experimental
investigation of MIMO antenna gain. Ultimately, “Conclu-
sion” describes the conclusion and future recommendations.
Proposed Layout
Figure1 illustrates the four-port MIMO antenna. The suggested
design for the antenna possesses an inexpensive feature in the
distributed case for the creation of substate to FR4 in charac-
terizing the material with the property of relative permittivity
within the surface can be approximated to 4.4. Ref. [11] is used
to compute the resonant frequency. Besides, the substrate thick-
ness is 1.8mm, and complete tangent loss was obtained at 0.02.
Moreover, the height of the patch within the plane surface is set

at 1.7mm. The calculation results in designing an individual,
dual, and quadruple stage of MIMO configured antenna. In
addition, measures are set at 20mm for the substrate in width
andlength with a patch substrate of 10mm × 8mm.
Scattering Parameters
Return Loss
The presented antenna operates across 4.3GHz and 6.1GHz
with wireless communication. The propounded MIMO
antenna has an RL value of below − 10dB across four ports,
as demonstrated in Fig.2 simulated. Within the MIMO
antenna obtained with a return loss (RL) value of 12dB
across the operating frequency of 4.3GHz, the RL value
of − 23dB across the operating frequency of 6.1GHz.
Isolation Loss
In Fig.3, the propounded MIMO antenna has an isola-
tion loss value below 20dB across four ports. Within the
MIMO antenna, it is proposed to show an isolation defi-
ciency value of − 25dB across a frequency of 4.3GHz, simi-
lar to the isolation loss value of − 40dB across a frequency
of 6.1GHz. The proposed antenna operates with wireless
applications across 4.3GHz and 6.1GHz.
Envelop Correlation Coefficient (ECC) Measure
ECC has been measured with the MIMO antenna as a criti-
cal parameter. Figure4 states the curve obtained through
ECC for antenna proposed considerations of the value set at
0.5 as the expected practical value. With the calculation of
ECC with the equation formulated below, scattering consid-
erations values are considered in Eq.(1).

Ports for the 1st and 2nd antennas proposed are symbol-
ized as i and j. The propounded MIMO antenna shows the
ECC value of 0.14 and 0.08 across the operating frequency
of 4.3GHz and 6.1GHz operating frequencies, below the 0.5
standard value shown in Fig.4.
Directivity Gain (DG)
It is termed the decline in the transmitted power when diversity
programming is conducted on the MIMO antenna module.
Then, with Eq.(2), diversity gain is determined, which consid-
ers the ECC value of the propounded MIMO antenna.

With the methodology, the directivity gain value of
9.91dB and 9.97dB across the operating frequency value
of 4.3GHz and 6.1GHz. The MIMO antenna clarifies the
directivity gain value on an average of 9.7–9.8dB with the
mentioned band in Fig.5.
TARC (Total Active Reflection Coefficient)
It was determined as the square root of the overall radia-
tion emitted proportionate to the square root of complete
emitted light. TARC is computed using Eq.3, which is
given below.
The propounded MIMO antenna shows the TARC val-
ues of 28dB and 43dB across the operating frequency
values of 4.3GHz and 6.1GHz; the optimum value for the
presented clarified antenna in Fig.6.

Mean Effective Gain (MEG)
Mean effective gain, the mean received power in a fad-
ing system, is an essential metric of the propounded
clarified designed antenna. The standard MEG value is
between − 3dB and − 12dB. Therefore, Eq.(8) is used to
compute the mean effective gain Fig.7.

is the radiation efficiency. Figure4 shows MEG
values of 4.7dB and 4.8 dB across the operating fre-
quency of 4.1 and 6GHz.
Channel Capacity Loss (CCL)
Attaining the proposed antenna’s essential points determines the
system’s channel capacity losses during the correlation effect.
The CCL is calculated using Eqs. (5), (6), (7), and (8). The pro-
posed antenna has a CCL less than the practical standard value
of 0.4bit/s/Hz for the proposed system’s maximum bandwidth.

Radiation Patterns
The propounded MIMO antenna in Fig.9a shows the radia-
tion pattern in both omnidirectional and single-directional
co- and cross-polarization. Similarly, Fig.9b shows the
omnidirectional and butterfly-directional radiation pattern

the radiation pattern in both omnidirectional and single-

shows the omnidirectional and butterfly-directional radia-
tion pattern in co- and cross-polarization. The measured and
simulated cross and co-polarizations are in good agreement
across the operating frequency of 6.1GHz. However, from
Figs.9 and 10, the results have demonstrated more radiation
across the operating frequency of 4.3GHz than at 6.1GHz
operating frequency.
Distribution ofSurface Current
Figure11 depicts the propounded MIMO antenna’s surface
current distribution throughout frequency response. The sug-
gested antenna has a surface current distribution value of
30A/m across 4.3GHz and 50A/m across 6.1GHz. The
propounded MIMO antenna shows high surface current dis-
tributions across a circular patch.

Conclusion
This work states a dual-band 4-port clarified designed
antenna, which is used in applications of a wireless sys-
tem that is being functioned at a frequency of operation
set for 4.4 and 6.2GHz. The proposed antenna shows a
high gain of 7.6dB across the wireless application, simi-
larly, showing low ECC, low return loss, and low isolation
loss. Furthermore, MIMO antenna parameters like TARC,
diversity gain, MEG, and CCL were also evaluated, which

This paper presents the design and investigation of a two-element MIMO antenna using a series-fed microstrip antenna array for next-generation (Next-gen) communications in the THz regime. The antenna array is developed on an ultra-thin substrate material with graphene patterning to obtain quad-band radiation. Concentric split rings of various radii are used in the development of each element and three sections are used to construct each of the series-fed antenna array within a footprint of 50 × 16 μm. The series-fed configuration is chosen to maximize the antenna radiation making it suitable for low-power applications. The proposed series-fed antenna works at 3.4, 3.6, 4.96 and 5.6 THz with a return loss greater than 25 dB. The estimated bandwidth of the series-fed antenna array is 128, 142, 145 and 176 GHz making it suitable for high-speed data communication. The peak simulated gain is greater than 6 dBi while the total efficiency is above 80% in the four operating bands. Further, to enhance the antenna performance for a highly cluttered environment, a two-element Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) array is constructed with an element spacing of 22 μm with an inherent isolation of 20 dB. The MIMO performance parameters are evaluated and presented.

Researchers are looking into radio frequency bands that can adapt to the ever-intensifying requirements of cellular data users due to the exponential growth of wireless data transmission. Plasmonic MIMO antenna helps in the wireless framework and must be verb cultivated and implemented to meet the increasing demands for enriching data rate. The designed plasmonic antenna represents the two-port MIMO antenna geometry structure. The substrate material used to fabricate is FR4 epoxy material which makes it low cost.

In this paper, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor built on bimetallic layers of Silver, BaTiO3, and transition metal dichalcogenide material (MoS2/ MoSe2/WS2/WSe2) are proposed. The proposed SPR biosensor is based on the attenuated total reflection (ATR) method and relies on the Kretschmann configuration to examine the performance parameters. Sensitivity, quality factor, full width at half maximum, and detection accuracy have all been numerically evaluated and assessed concerning the performance of the proposed SPR biosensor. The numerical investigation reveals the proposed biosensor structure has a much better sensitivity than the conventional structure. It has been found that by optimizing the structure with two metallic silver layers of 50 nm and 10 nm thickness, five layers of MoS2 (each of 0.4 nm), and a monolayer of BaTiO3 (5 nm), attained the highest sensitivity is 446 degree/RIU. The findings will pave the way for a novel heterostructure-based SPR biosensor for gas and biological sensing in the visible region.

Wireless data transmission has surged at an exponential rate and researchers are now looking at radio frequency bands that can accommodate these ever-increasing needs of cellular data users. Wireless infrastructure must be developed and utilized to meet the growing capacity and connectivity requirements. To fulfil the requirement of high-speed data transmission in wireless devices and applications, Terahertz (THz) frequency range (0.1-10) THz is considered to be the crucial step and has aroused the curiosity of the research community. Antennas are the critical part of any THz communication system and require a great deal of expertise for the designing part. The design and construction of a miniaturized THz antenna employing a complementary split ring and a modified ground structure are given in this article. The planned antenna comprises a complementary split ring formed by two slots etched on a patch, one substrate layer, and a common ground plane that is changed to achieve the appropriate resonance frequency. The designed multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna shows a wide fractional bandwidth of 85.81% from 2.5 to 11 THz by making exhibits a wide impedance bandwidth of 85.81% (2.5-11 THz) due to the derived changes in the MIMO configuration. The proposed design has a maximum gain of 49 decibels. The developed MIMO antenna is effective for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications, health care, aerospace, and biomedical imaging in the THz frequency range because of better gain, wider bandwidth, and good isolation.

The information exchanged over the smart grid networks is sensitive and private. As such, proper mechanisms must be put in place to protect these messages from security and privacy violations. Although many schemes have been presented in literature to address these challenges, a number of them rarely consider concurrent authentication of smart meters, while some are inefficient or still lack some of the smart grid network security and privacy requirements. In this article, a novel concurrent smart meters authentication algorithm is presented, based on some trusted authority. Formal security analysis of this algorithm is executed using Burrows‐Abadi‐Needham logic, which shows that this algorithm provides strong authentication among the smart meter, utility service provider and trusted authority. In addition, session keys are independently computed and verified between the smart meter and utility service provider with the help of the trusted authority. Informal security analysis shows that this algorithm provides device anonymity, perfect forward key secrecy, strong mutual authentication and is resilient against replay, de‐synchronization, privileged insider, impersonation, eavesdropping, side‐channel, and traceability attacks. In terms of performance, the proposed algorithm exhibits the least communication and computation overheads when compared with other related schemes.

A compact two‐element multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna system with improved impedance matching and isolation is presented for future sub‐6 GHz 5G applications. The two identical tapered microstrip line fed modified rhombus‐shaped radiating elements are placed in the same orientation at a compact substrate area of 0.24λ0 × 0.42λ0 (where, λ0 at 3.6 GHz) on a shared rectangular ground. A remodeled T‐shaped ground stub is placed between a pair of radiating element to achieve improved impedance bandwidth and isolation. Further, a split U‐shaped stub connected to center of each radiating element to achieve the desired resonant frequency of 3.6 GHz. The proposed antenna covers a −10 dB operating band of 3.34 to 3.87 GHz (530 MHz) with more than 20 dB isolation between a pair of elements. MIMO performances are also analyzed and experimentally validated. The measured performances of a prototype are found in good agreement with simulated performances. Further, the simulation study is carried out to see the effect of housing and extended ground plane on two‐element MIMO antenna for practical application. An idea of realization of 12‐element MIMO is also studied using the proposed two‐element MIMO antenna.

In this manuscript, we propose an eight-port/four-resonator slot antenna array with dual-polarized function for multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) 5G mobile terminals. The design is composed of four dual-polarized square-ring slot radiators fed by pairs of microstrip-line structures. The radiation elements are designed to operate at 3.6 GHz and are located on the corners of the smartphone PCB. The square-ring slot radiators provide good dual-polarization characteristic with similar performances in terms of fundamental radiation characteristics. In order to improve the isolation and also reduce the mutual coupling characteristic between the adjunct microstrip-line feeding ports of the dual-polarized radiators, a pair of circular-ring/open-ended parasitic structures is embedded across each square-ring slot radiator. The -10 dB impedance bandwidth of each antenna-element is 3.4-3.8 GHz. However, for -6 dB impedance bandwidth, this value is 600 MHz (3.3-3.9 GHz). The proposed MIMO antenna offers good S-parameters, high-gain radiation patterns and sufficient total efficiencies even though it is arranged on a high-loss FR-4 dielectric. The SAR function and radiation characteristics of the proposed design in the vicinity of user-hand/user-head are studied. A prototype of the proposed smartphone antenna is fabricated and good measurements are provided. The antenna provides good features with a potential application for use in the 5G mobile terminals.

In this paper, multiband antennas based on a single ring slot are proposed for 4G/5G smartphone applications. The basic structure of the antenna is consisted of a large metal ground and an unbroken metal rim, in which a single 2-mm-wide ring slot is realized between the metal ground and rim. Here, a reconfigurable 4G antenna (820–960 MHz and 1710–2690 MHz) is initially devised by loading multiple grounded stubs and a simple DC controlling circuit with varactor diode into the upper section of the ring slot. To further cover the sub-6 GHz spectrum (3400–3600 MHz) for future 5G communications, a 4-element MIMO (multi-input-multi-output) slot antennas configuration is designed by utilizing the lower section of the ring slot. A prototype antenna was fabricated, and good agreement is shown between the measured and simulated results. Due to the advantages such as multiband operation, MIMO configuration for 5G communications, high isolation and compact structure, the proposed antenna design is attractive for 4G/5G smartphones.

In this study, an effective methodology to design a compact four-element multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with high performance over ultra-wide bandwidth (BW) is presented and discussed. Taking the advantages of symmetry of most planar ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas, an asymmetric feeding scheme technique is utilised to chop a previously developed UWB slot antenna with overall dimensions of 30 mm × 30 mm into two halves to yield a more compact structure while retaining its overall frequency- and time-domain performances. Benefiting from orthogonal orientation, a compact UWB MIMO antenna system is arranged using four half-sized elements. The proposed MIMO antenna has an overall size of 40 mm × 40 mm and exhibits impedance BW from 2.94 to more than 14 GHz (10 dB return loss) with port isolation better than 17 dB over the entire operating band without using any decoupling structures. This is achieved via the inherent directional radiation properties of slot antenna elements and their asymmetrical placements. Envelope correlation coefficient is computed, and it is within the acceptable limit, which validates the design concept for building a compact MIMO antenna system with good performance.
