MIMO Antennas: Theory and Practice

This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of Microstrip Patch Antennas and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Antennas. It is intended for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of wireless communication, antenna design, and microwave engineering. The content is structured in a way that guides the reader from the basic principles to the advanced design techniques and practical implementations of MIMO antenna systems. Microstrip Patch Antennas have become widely popular due to their low profile, ease of fabrication, light weight, and compatibility with integrated circuits. The initial chapters of the book explore the construction, working principle, and types of Microstrip Patch Antennas. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the design, simulation, and analysis of MIMO antennas. It covers the theoretical background of MIMO technology, including diversity gain, spatial multiplexing, channel capacity, correlation, and mutual coupling. The novelty of this book lies in the detailed design of MIMO antennas using Defected Ground Structures (DGS), Parasitic Elements, and a combination of both.
