This paper presents a four-cluster dual-band circularly polarized (CP) metasurface (MTS)-array antenna integrated with a sequential-phase feed (SPF) network for C-band applications. The antenna is implemented on dual-layer FR-4 substrates, incorporating both big- and small-sized MTS-array elements per cluster, with a tilted square-slot ground plane and microstrip-line feed. The SPF network excites each cluster with equal amplitude and 90<sup>°</sup> phase shifts, significantly enhancing return loss bandwidth (RLBW), axial ratio bandwidth, and realized gain. The simulated results demonstrate RLBW of 3.08 - 4.51 GHz and 4.94 - 8 GHz, and ARBWs of 3.08 - 4.66 GHz and 5.27 - 6.42 GHz for the lower and higher operating bands, respectively. The corresponding highest RHCP gains are 6.15 dBic at 3.8 GHz and 4 dBic at 6 GHz. The proposed antenna design achieves bi-directional radiation patterns and shows substantial performance improvements over conventional dual-band CP MTS-array antennas.

This paper proposes a prism-shaped dielectric resonator (DR) -based antenna with circularly polarized (CP) characteristics for C-band wireless systems. This antenna comprised a prism-shaped DR and single-layer substrate. The prism-shaped DR is on the upper-side substrate. Besides, a rod-shaped probe was plugged into a DR and connected by an SMA connector on the lower-side substrate. A loop-shaped metasurface-enhanced reflector is employed to improve bandwidth (i.e., RLBW and ARBW) and antenna gain. A regularly spaced array of 7 × 7 loop-shaped metasurface unit structures is positioned on the upper substrate side. The simulation RLBW and ARBW results at 5.8 GHz (center frequency) are 34% (5.22 - 7.2 GHz) and 16% (5.27 - 6.2 GHz). This antenna radiates left-hand circular polarization with an optimal maximum gain at 5.5 GHz of 6.7 dBic, making it suitable for C-band wireless networks.

This study proposed a single-layer, compact, dual-port meta-surface multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Coupling between ports is effectively minimized using pin vias, which connects the meta-surface to the ground plane and functions as an LC resonator circuit to suppress useless frequencies. Here, L and C represent inductance and capacitance, respectively. Additionally, pin vias reduces mutual coupling by mitigating concentrated current distributions on the meta-surface components, achieving high isolation. The simulated results reveal a return loss bandwidth (RLBW) spanning 3.76-7.4 GHz (70% at a center frequency of 5.2 GHz) with isolation (S<inf>12</inf>) exceeding 19 dB. Furthermore, the envelope correlation coefficient is below 0.035, and the diversity gain reaches 9.82 dB. The antenna achieves a maximum gain of 5.54 dBi at 4.3 GHz. This demonstrates that the pin vias decoupling technique is highly effective for coupling reduction in meta-surface MIMO antennas.

This study presents a novel two-array MTS-gridded MIMO antenna with dual circular polarization (CP) bidirectional capabilities for full-duplex communications. The proposed antenna consists of two mirrored clusters, each comprising a single-element antenna formed by a 3 × 4 MTS-gridded element array, a circular patch, and a ground plane. The antenna demonstrates a wide measured return loss bandwidth (RLBW) of 56.46% (5 - 8.67 GHz), axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 18.15% (6.26 - 7.44 GHz), and strong isolation below -22 dB. Peak gains of 6.5 dBic and 6.55 dBic were observed at 6.6 GHz and 6.54 GHz for Ports 1 and 2, respectively. Furthermore, the low envelope correlation coefficient (< 0.005) and high diversity gain (> 9.985 dB) validate its effectiveness for multi-port applications. The bidirectional radiation pattern and dual circular polarization support simultaneous transmission and reception, making the design well-suited for full-duplex MIMO operation.

This research introduces a two-port circularly polarized (CP) slot-coupled MIMO antenna with an novel artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) reflector for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology. The proposed antenna comprises two layers separated by an air gap: the upper layer includes the dual-element slot-integrated MIMO antenna with microstrip-line feeds and defected ground structures (I-shaped slots) for coupling reduction, while the lower layer integrates an 8 × 8 array of AMC units. The AMC enhances gain and improves radiation properties through its reflective behavior. Measured results confirm the antenna's suitability for V2X applications, achieving a wide return loss bandwidth (RLBW) of 32% (4.72 - 6.61 GHz), axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) of 21.18% (5.2 - 6.45 GHz), and isolation greater than 19 dB. The antenna attains a peak gain of 8.6 dBic at 5.9 GHz, with an envelope correlation coefficient below 0.003 and diversity gain exceeding 9.98 dB. The key innovation of this work lies in the combination of CP slot-integrated MIMO design with a novel AMC structure to enhance gain and isolation, making it highly effective for V2X wireless networks in modern vehicular communication networks.

This paper proposes a bandwidth enhancement technique for circularly polarized (CP) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) using the embedded slot-coupled patch. The proposed CP DRA for mid-band 5G applications consisted of an aperture-coupled feed, a dice-shaped dielectric resonator (DR), and an embedded slot-coupled patch. A slot-coupled feed included cross-aperture ground plane (upper substrate) and microstrip-line feed (lower substrate). The dice-shaped DR sits at the center of the cross-aperture ground plane. The slot-coupled patch was embedded into DR for bandwidth enhancement. The DR usually functioned as a resonance cavity, producing TEll1 mode. The embedded slot-coupled patch can generate the resonance frequency mode (TM01 and TMl0) at a higher frequency, resulting in a wide reflection coefficient bandwidth and ARBW. The results of simulation reflection coefficient bandwidth and ARBW at center frequency (3.5 GHz) achieved 44% (3.12 - 4.66 GHz) and 36.57% (3.23 - 4.51 GHz). The peak RHCP gain was 8.7 dBic at 4.5 GHz with right-hand circular polarization, rendering the proposed CP DRA with embedded slot-coupled patch suitable for mid-band 5G wireless networks.

This research proposes a quadruple-cluster leaf-shaped metasurface (MTS)-based circularly-polarized (CP) stacked-patch antenna array with hybrid coupler feed network for sub-6 GHz 5G applications. In the study, the leaf-shaped MTS-based CP stacked-patch antenna is characterized by characteristic mode analysis (CMA). In the antenna design, one cluster of the quadruple-cluster leaf-shaped MTS-based antenna array consists of 4×4 leaf-shaped MTS elements; and the hybrid coupler feed network is used to enhance impedance bandwidth (IBW), axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW), and antenna gain. Simulations are carried out and an antenna prototype is fabricated and experiments undertaken. The measured IBW, ARBW, and maximum gain at the center frequency (4 GHz) are 62.5% (3.4- 5.9 GHz), 21% (3.8- 4.54 GHz), and 9.04 dBic at 3.9 GHz. The novelty of this research lies in the use of: (i) the CMA concept to design and develop the leaf-shaped wideband MTS-based stacked-patch antenna with CP radiation pattern; and (ii) a low-complexity hybrid coupler feed network to enhance the IBW, ARBW and gain.
