Regular Polyhedron Antenna Array Design and Simulation for MIMO Systems
Some MIMO applications require antennas to be closely spaced, and it will cause the mutual coupling among antennas and high spatial correlation which will harmful for enhancing the system capacity. In order to solve this problem, many methods have been developed. The antenna array design is a feasible way to enhance the MIMO system performance. We developed the regular polyhedron antenna arrays. Regular polyhedron has excellent spatial sym-metry, and it is vital in 3D environment. This kind of regular polyhedron antenna arrays exhibit lower mutual coupling effect and spatial correlation then the antenna array fixed on a plane. In numerical simulation, the efficient integral method MGLFIM is employed to fast calculate the input admittance and radiation pattern. Each regular polyhedron antenna array demonstrates excellent efficiency in enhancing the MIMO system capacity. To obtain the same system capacity, the distance between two monopoles can be smaller using regular polyhedron than using planar antenna array. With the same volume, the regular polyhedron antenna array can exhibit better performance.
