In this paper, a very low‐profile two‐port ultra‐wideband antenna for multiple input‐multiple output applications is proposed. The antenna is implemented by using two orthogonal quasi‐circular slot dipole radiators fed by coaxial lines. The antenna performs from 2 to 10 GHz, with an average peak‐gain of 4 dB, and high port isolation, with values around S21 = −20 dB and below. The radiation patterns of both antennas are opposite to each other and hence, the diversity gain reaches values around 20 dB. The low inter‐port coupling and low correlation are verified by obtaining the envelope correlation coefficient, which is lower than 0.003. These calculations were made by the S‐parameter and far‐field methods. The total active reflection coefficient shows that the antenna operative bandwidth does not change for different input signals with random phases, preserving the operation from 2 to 10 GHz. The antenna performance is compared to different state of the art slot configurations, showing advantages to previously published work.
From experimental measurements of near field of any radiant device (RD) and using genetic algorithms (GA) as optimization tool for finding out the parameters of a model, carry out the search of geometric dipole structure (not necessarily unique), in order to reproduce the measurements above mentioned, with that model the far field is predicted. With any of the configurations (parameterized model) is possible to estimate the radiation in the zone of far field only modifying the distance parameter in the model. In this paper the application of the GA as a search method of a geometric configuration of elementary dipoles that solve the inverse problem of electromagnetic radiation are reported. The inverse problem of electromagnetic radiation appears as a new application in the electromagnetic compatibility area that allows estimating the far field radiation from near field measurements.
