Abstract

The need for a high-speed mobile network has increased due to the COVID19 pandemic.5G is the newest and most sophisticated technology designed to handle the demands of the internet. The 5G network ensures connection security and simplifies mobile device connectivity to wireless devices. This paper explains every parameter related to 5G technology that has been covered in various papers. It addresses some of the difficulties that 5G technology faces. The development of Vivaldi, conformal, MIMO antennas satisfies the requirements of the 5G mobile network and presents opportunities to overcome obstacles. In the paper, MIMO antenna is discussed along with various techniques for enhancing its parameters, such as appropriate substrate selection, antenna element placement, and mutual coupling reduction. Different techniques like isolation, DGS, slot, metamaterial, neutralizing line, and frequency reconfigurations are explained under mutual coupling reduction techniques. A comparative analysis of various antenna feeding techniques is presented in the paper. The article provides details on how various parameters are affected by parameter enhancement techniques.

Keywords: Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Defected Ground Structure (DGS), neutralization line, Slot, Mutual Coupling, Substrate.
