    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 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 paper presents the design and development of a circularly polarized slotted corner-truncated microstrip patch antenna integrated with a split-ring artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) metasurface for WLAN applications at 2.45 GHz. The antenna design incorporates structural adaptations, such as slotted apertures and corner truncations, to enhance impedance matching and achieve circular polarization. To further improve performance, a split-ring AMC metasurface was employed, resulting in enhanced polarization purity and bandwidth. The proposed design achieves an impedance bandwidth (|S<inf>11</inf>| below -10 dB) from 2.33 GHz to 2.75 GHz and an axial ratio (AR) below 3 dB over the frequency range of 2.40 GHz to 2.55 GHz, and a peak gain of approximately 4.40 dBic at 2.45 GHz. Simulated results are validated by measured results of the fabricated prototype, demonstrating close agreement and confirming the robustness of the design methodology. This work highlights an innovative approach to compact and high-performance antenna design, ensuring its suitability for modern WLAN communication systems.
