Abstract

Reliable wireless communication in the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band increasingly relies on antenna systems that can provide high inter-port isolation in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configurations. This paper presents a circular microstrip patch antenna and its extension to a dual-port MIMO configuration designed for 2.4 GHz operation. The antenna is implemented on a low-loss substrate and evaluated using full-wave electromagnetic simulations to assess impedance matching, radiation performance, and MIMO diversity metrics. To enhance inter-port isolation in the array, an inverted U-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) is introduced between the two radiating elements. The optimized design achieves excellent matching around 2.4 GHz and ultra-high isolation of approximately -78.7 dB, while maintaining stable gain and radiation patterns across the operating band. These results indicate that the proposed antenna offers a simple and effective solution for compact, energy-efficient, and robust 2.4 GHz MIMO front ends in internet of things (IoT) and other shortrange wireless communication systems.
