| Abstract |
A dual-band dual-polarized massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array is presented for maritime communications and sensing applications in the 5.1- and 5.9-GHz bands. Passive elements are introduced in the array to achieve a low-gain pattern variation in both bands. The optimal element spacing is studied, relying on the impact of mutual coupling and the radiation performance of the embedded elements. The topology of the MIMO array is also studied based on the system-level performance. The array was prototyped, validating the proposed concept. |
