Abstract
A staircase-shaped quasi-fractal antenna is presented to meet the requirements of compact electronics operating in UWB or E-UWB spectrum. A conventional broadband monopole antenna is converted into UWB antenna utilizing three iterations of fractal patches. The resultant antenna offers wide impedance bandwidth ranges 2.3-17.8 GHz, having a notch band at 6.1-7.2 GHz. Afterwards, a two-port MIMO antenna is created by placing the second element orthogonally with an edge-to-edge distance of 8.5 mm, that is λ/15 where λ corresponds to free space wavelength at the lowest cut-off frequency. Hereafter, a meandered line-shaped stub is inserted to reduce the mutual coupling between closely spaced MIMO elements to less than -25 dB. As the intended application of the proposed work is On-body, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) analyses are carried out at 2.4, 5.8 and 8 GHz, showing an acceptable range for both 1-g and 10-g averaged tissues standards. Moreover, various parameters of the MIMO antenna are studied, and a comparison is made between simulated and measured results as well as those of the state of the art.

Abstract
The research paper discusses the detailed designing of a compact, simple, and low-profile antenna that provides several desirable features. The antenna is engineered by using a substrate material called Roger 6002, and its dimensions are 12 mm × 6 mm × 1.52 mm. The single antenna element achieves a wideband frequency coverage of 24-30.2 GHz and a high gain of 9 dBi. To enhance the antenna's capabilities, a two-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration is employed by adding a second antenna element orthogonal to the first one. Although the operational band remains the same, the isolation between the two elements is found to be unsatisfactory. A C-shaped decoupling structure is established to address this issue, which effectively improves the isolation. Including the parasitic patch enhances the isolation from -18 dB to -29 dB. An antenna hardware sample is built and tested to validate the recommended work, and the outcomes are compared to the predicted results obtained from the software. The experimental and simulated data exhibit close agreement, confirming the accuracy of the design. Additionally, this outstanding performance in bandwidth and isolation compares with existing literature, presented in the form of a table. Various MIMO parameters are also examined, and it is found that they fall within acceptable ranges. The antenna demonstrates an Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) of approximately 0.005 and a Diversity Gain (DG) of around 9.99 dB. The recommended antenna design is highly suitable for future miniature devices used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Abstract
For ISM, WLAN, and C-band applications, a multiple-stub loaded CPW feed tri-band antenna is presented in this study. The suggested antenna uses Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate material with a 0.79 mm thickness. The antenna has a straightforward design, measures just 33 mm × 20 mm, and provides broad performance with excellent gain. A 4-port MIMO arrangement is subsequently used to fulfill the demands of upcoming 5G and 6G devices. The MIMO antenna contains little space between elements and offers a good value of < -30 dB isolation. The overall size of a 4-port MIMO antenna is MW × ML × H = 60 mm × 60 mm × 0.79 mm and offers a minimum value of ECC <0.0001. Besides ECC, the MIMO antenna also offers good results in terms of DG, CCL, and MEG. To validate the findings of the simulation, a hardware prototype of the suggested antenna is created. It is clear that the results from simulations and measurements coincide well. The proposed antenna was created with the aid of the software tool Ansoft HFSSv9. Also, the proposed work is evaluated against previously published material. The suggested antenna has a small size, a simple geometry, a wideband, high gain, and a good value for the MIMO parameters, according to the results and comparisons of the proposed work (in terms of ECC, DG, CCL, and MEG), and low spacing between elements, which makes it a promising candidate for future 5G devices operating over ISM, WLAN, and C-band applications.

Abstract
The recent resurgence of new-generation reconfigurable technologies delivers a plethora of various applications in all public, private and enterprise solutions over the globe. In this paper, a frequency reconfigurable polarization and pattern diverse Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna is presented for indoor scenarios. The MIMO antenna is comprised of twelve radiating elements, and polarization and pattern diversity is obtained by arranging them in three different planes: Horizontal Plane (HP), Vertical Plane-I (VP-I), and Vertical Plane-II (VP-II). The proposed antenna operates in mode I (wideband) and mode II (multiband), by combining two different radiators using PIN diodes. The antenna dynamically switches between Mode I (wideband) and mode II (multiband). Mode, I cover the ultra-wideband (UWB) range from 2.3 to 12 GHz, while mode II covers GSM (1.85-1.9 GHz), Wi-Fi and LTE-7 (2.419-2.96 GHz), 5G (3.15-3.28 GHz and 3.45-3.57 GHz), public safety WLAN (4.817-4.94 GHz), and WLAN (5.11-5.4 GHz) frequency bands. The peak gain and efficiency of the MIMO antenna are 5.2 dBi and 80%, respectively.

Abstract
In this article, a single-layer frequency selective surface (FSS)-loaded compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed antenna is proposed for very high-gain and ultra-wideband applications. At the initial stage, a geometrically simple ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is designed which contains CPW feed lines and a multi-stub-loaded hexagonal patch. The various stubs are inserted to improve the bandwidth of the radiator. The antenna operates at 5-17 GHz and offers 6.5 dBi peak gain. Subsequently, the proposed FSS structure is designed and loaded beneath the proposed UWB antenna to improve bandwidth and enhance gain. The antenna loaded with FSS operates at an ultra-wideband of 3-18 GHz and offers a peak gain of 10.5 dBi. The FSS layer contains 5 × 5 unit cells with a total dimension of 50 mm × 50 mm. The gap between the FSS layer and UWB antenna is 9 mm, which is fixed to obtain maximum gain. The proposed UWB antenna and its results are compared with the fabricated prototype to verify the results. Moreover, the performance parameters such as bandwidth, gain, operational frequency, and the number of FSS layers used in the proposed antenna are compared with existing literature to show the significance of the proposed work. Overall, the proposed antenna is easy to fabricate and has a low profile and simple geometry with a compact size while offering a very wide bandwidth and high gain. Due to all of its performance properties, the proposed antenna system is a strong candidate for upcoming wideband and high-gain applications.

Abstract
This article presents the circularly polarized antenna operating over 28 GHz mm-wave applications. The suggested antenna has compact size, simple geometry, wideband, high gain, and offers circular polarization. Afterward, two-port MIMO antenna are designed to get Left Hand Circular Polarization (LHCP) and Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP). Four different cases are adopted to construct two-port MIMO antenna of suggested antenna. In case 1, both of the elements are placed parallel to each other; in the second case, the element is parallel but the radiating patch of second antenna element are rotated by 180°. In the third case, the second antenna element is placed orthogonally to the first antenna element. In the final case, the antenna is parallel but placed in the opposite end of substrate material. The S-parameters, axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) gain, and radiation efficiency are studied and compared in all these cases. The two MIMO systems of all cases are designed by using Roger RT/Duroid 6002 with thickness of 0.79 mm. The overall size of two-port MIMO antennas is 20.5 mm × 12 mm × 0.79 mm. The MIMO configuration of the suggested CP antenna offers wideband, low mutual coupling, wide ARBW, high gain, and high radiation efficiency. The hardware prototype of all cases is fabricated to verify the predicated results. Moreover, the comparison of suggested two-port MIMO antenna is also performed with already published work, which show the quality of suggested work in terms of various performance parameters over them.

Abstract
Metamaterials exhibit properties in terms of subwavelength operation or phase manipulation, among others, that can be used in a variety of applications in 5G communication systems. The future and current 5G devices demand high efficiency, high data rate, computational capabilities, cost-effectiveness, compact size, and low power consumption. This variation and advancement are possible when the antenna design is revised to operate over wideband, high gain, and multiband and has characteristics of compact size, reconfiguration, absorption, and simple ease of fabrication. The materials loaded with antennas or, in the same cases, without antennas, offer the aforementioned characteristics to bring advancement in order to facilitate users. A number of works on designing metasurfaces capable of improving bandwidth, gain efficiency, and reducing the size and cost of antennas are available in the literature for this purpose. Not only are these applications possible, but the intelligent metasurfaces are also designed to obtain reconfiguration in terms of frequency and polarization. The number of absorbers loaded with metamaterials is also designed to improve the absorption percentage used for radar applications. Thus, in this paper, the general overview of different types of metamaterials and their role in performance enhancement and application in 5G and 6G communication systems is discussed.

Abstract
The article presents a Co-planar Waveguide (CPW) fed antenna of a low-profile, simple geometry, and compact size operating at the dual band for ISM and WLAN applications for 5G communication devices. The antenna has a small size of 30 mm × 18 mm × 0.79 mm and is realized using Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. The proposed dual-band antenna contains a CPW feedline along with the triangular patch. Later on, various stubs are loaded to obtain optimal results. The proposed antenna offers a dual band at 2.4 and 5.4 GHz while covering the impedance bandwidths of 2.25-2.8 GHz for ISM and 5.45-5.65 GHz for WLAN applications, respectively. The proposed antenna design is studied and analyzed using the Electromagnetic (EM) High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSSv9) tool, and a hardware prototype is fabricated to verify the simulated results. As the antenna is intended for on-body applications, therefore, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) analysis is carried out to investigate the Electromagnetic effects of the antenna on the human body. Moreover, a comparison between the proposed dual-band antenna and other relevant works in the literature is presented. The results and comparison of the proposed work with other literary works validate that the proposed dual-band antenna is suitable for future 5G devices working in Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM), and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) bands.

Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is built with the wireless interconnection of Sensor Nodes (SNs) generally deployed to monitor the changes within the environment of hostile, rugged, and unreachable target regions. The optimal placement of SNs is very important for the efficient and effective operation of any WSN. Unlike small and reachable regions, the deployment of the SNs in large-scale regions (e.g., forest regions, nuclear radiation affected regions, international border regions, natural calamity affected regions, etc.) is substantially challenging. Present paper deals with an autonomous air-bone scheme for the precise placement of SNs in such large-scale regions. It uses an Omni-directional Circular Glider (OCG) per SN. After being aerially dropped, SN pilots the OCG to glide itself to the predetermined locations (PL) within a target region. The major advantage of using OCG is its capability to quickly update the direction, during the flight (with turning radius = 0) toward its PL. The proposed uses a recursive path correction model to maintain the orientation of the gliding SN towards the PL. The simulation results, and the hardware implementation, indicate that the proposed model is effectively operational in the environmental winds. It is time-efficient and more accurate in the deployment of the SNs in comparison to existing state of art SN deployment models.

Abstract
A dual-band, compact, high-gain, simple geometry, wideband antenna for 5G millimeter-wave applications at 28 and 38 GHz is proposed in this paper. Initially, an antenna operating over dual bands of 28 and 38 GHz was designed. Later, a four-port Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna was developed for the same dual-band applications for high data rates, low latency, and improved capacity for 5G communication devices. To bring down mutual coupling between antenna elements, a parasitic element of simple geometry was loaded between the MIMO elements. After the insertion of the parasitic element, the isolation of the antenna improved by 25 dB. The suggested creation was designed using a Rogers/Duroid RT-5870 laminate with a thickness of 0.79 mm. The single element proposed has an overall small size of 13 mm × 15 mm, while the MIMO configuration of the proposed work has a miniaturized size of 28 mm × 28 mm. The parasitic element-loaded MIMO antenna offers a high gain of 9.5 and 11.5 dB at resonance frequencies of 28 GHz and 38 GHz, respectively. Various MIMO parameters were also examined, and the results generated by the EM tool CST Studio Suite® and hardware prototype are presented. The parasitic element-loaded MIMO antenna offers an Envelop Correlation Coefficient (ECC) < 0.001 and Channel Capacity Loss (CCL) < 0.01 bps/Hz, which are quite good values. Moreover, a comparison with existing work in the literature is given to show the superiority of the MIMO antenna. The suggested MIMO antenna provides good results and is regarded as a solid candidate for future 5G applications according to the comparison with the state of the art, results, and discussion.

A Low Profile Ultra-Wideband Antenna with Reconfigurable Notch Band Characteristics for Smart Electronic Systems. Micromachines (Basel) 2022; 13:1803.

Abstract
This study describes the design and implementation of a small printed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for smart electronic systems with on-demand adjustable notching properties. A contiguous sub-band between 3-4.1 GHz, 4.45-6.5 GHz, or for both bands concurrently, can be mitigated by the antenna. Numerous technologies and applications, including WiMAX, Wi-Fi, ISMA, WLAN, and sub-6 GHz, primarily utilize these band segments remitted by the UWB. The upper notch band is implemented by inserting an open-ended stub with the partial ground plane; the lower notch band functionality is obtained by etching a U-shaped slot from the radiating structure. The basic UWB mode is then changed to a UWB mode, with a single or dual notch band, using two diodes to achieve reconfigurability. The antenna has a physically compact size of 17 × 23 mm2 and a quasi-omnidirectional maximum gain of 4.9 dBi, along with a high efficiency of more than 80%, according to both simulation and measurement data. A significant bandwidth in the UWB region is also demonstrated by the proposed design, with a fractional bandwidth of 180% in relation to the 5.2 GHz center frequency. Regarding compactness, consistent gain, and programmable notch features, the proposed antenna outperforms the antennas described in the literature. In addition to these benefits, the antenna's compact size makes it simple to incorporate into small electronic devices and enables producers to build many antennas without complications.
