DESIGNING AND ANALYSIS OF 2X1 MIMO ANTENNA USING FULL GROUND AND SLOTTED GROUND FOR WIRELESS APPLICATION

The micro strip patch antenna is a low profile antenna suitable for compact devices and suitable for other low profile application. In this research, two element transformer coupled slot antenna using full ground and slotted ground was presented and given study provides comparison of both configuration in terms of antenna parameter. The designed antenna with slotted ground resonates at 5.2 GHz frequency and produce return loss of -21 dB and good isolation in the range 5.1 to 5.3 GHz band. In second case where full ground is considered the antenna resonate at 4.3 GHz and provides -17 dB of return loss with isolation of less than -10 dB. The other antenna parameter like gain, ECC, Radiation pattern are demonstrated and compared for both the cases, full ground and slotted ground. The presented result shows the better isolation achieved for slotting case.
