Abstract

A quad port pattern reconfigurable Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna is presented for Indoor wireless communication. The reconfigurability is achieved by integrating eight PIN diodes. The designed antenna operates over 5 to 7 GHz frequency, which supports the WLAN (5.15-5.35) GHz and Wi-Fi 6E (5.925-7.125) GHz frequency bands. Moreover, the developed antenna achieves the gain and efficiency of about 5.9 dBi and 85 % respectively. The designed antenna also achieves an ECC of less than 0.02 and a diversity gain of around 9.9 dB. The antenna is modelled using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique.
