Abstract:
This work proposes compact, flexible Multiple Input
Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas. The design principle is
based on the excitation of different orthogonal radiating modes
within the same antenna volume. Via phase control of the
excited modes, beamforming is demonstrated in azimuth and
elevation planes using single-layered structures. For flexibility,
the antennas are designed using Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
as the substrate. Numerical results demonstrate that isolation
better than 23 dB is realized in all investigated antennas, under
different bend configurations. Moreover, the proposed technique
demonstrates an antenna with unidirectional beamsteering across
the entire elevation plane, and a second design realizes a bi-
directional beamsteering in the horizontal plane. Overall, the
results highlight the potential of multimode-based beamforming
for flexible MIMO antennas in Internet of Things (IoT) systems
