Planar CPW-Fed MIMO Antenna Array Design with Enhanced Isolation Using T-Shaped Neutralization Lines

This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of a compact four-element coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed antenna array operating in the 3.3–3.6 GHz frequency band. The proposed antenna is tailored for sub-6 GHz 5G New Radio (NR) applications, specifically aligning with the n77/n78 bands widely adopted for mid-band 5G deployment. The CPW feeding technique enables low-profile integration and ease of fabrication, while the multi-element configuration supports enhanced gain and spatial diversity. Both simulated and measured results demonstrate good impedance matching (|S11| < −10 dB), stable radiation patterns, and inter-element isolation suitable for MIMO operation. The design offers a promising solution for compact 5G antenna systems and can be extended to future wireless communication platforms requiring high efficiency and compact form factors.
