This study introduces a coplanar waveguide MIMO antenna design that offers both frequency and pattern reconfigurability. The antenna is intended for applications in WiMAX, WLAN, and X-Band. It is constructed using an FR4 substrate with dimensions of 1.6mm thickness and 0.025 loss tangent. Based on the proposed design, MIMO antennas can operate at 3...

Osteoporosis, a medical condition distinguished by the reduction of bone mineral density and the consequent degradation of bone structure, poses significant health scrutiny, especially in elderly individuals. The fractures and hospitalisations that occur worldwide are a direct consequence of socioeconomic conditions. Prompt intervention and therapy...

This article presents a compact size circularly polarized substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based wideband antenna array that serves industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band applications. A coplanar waveguide (CPW) technique is used to ensure the antenna size compactness. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a low-profile Rogers RT6002 su...
