Emdadul Hoque Bhuiyan T-181071In this paper, we have designed a compact antenna for massive MIMO applications. The design has been carried out using various parameters such as left-hand tweak and right-hand tweak. The simulations were carried out with different hands simultaneously. The design and simulation of the proposed MIMO antenna are performed in the CST Studio Suite. The antenna is designed at an operational frequency of 2.6 GHz with a dielectric substrate and a conducting ground plane (W×L=19×38.2 mm2). The material of the substrate is FR-4 (lossy), with a relative permittivity of 4.3, a height of 1.6 mm, and a loss tangent of 0.025. The material of the ground plane is copper (annealed) with a thickness (t) of 0.035 mm, and the ground plane is cut into a smaller one to achieve a broader bandwidth. The optimized dimensions of the antenna are Wp=17.17 mm and Lp=22.13 mm. The width of the feedline (Flow) connected to the patch is 2.42 mm, and the length (Fl) is 14.93 mm.en-USThesis
