Popis: A multi-beam and multi-polarized Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna system, which operates at Sub-6 GHz and mm-wave frequency bands is realized for 5G Vehicle-to-Everything (5G-V2X) application. Since the vehicle needs to communicate in different scenarios with the others, e.g. vehicles, passengers, control units, and mobile networks, in the surrounding area, an antenna with 360° coverage area is required. In this paper, an eight-element MIMO antenna is designed and implemented for this purpose. Four elements are distributed evenly in a circular substrate placed in the azimuth plane. Meanwhile, the other four elements are printed on two orthogonal substrates which are fixed perpendicularly to the circular substrate. Each radiating component is a tapered slot antenna integrated with a dipole to operate at both microwave and mm-wave bands. The simulated and measured results demonstrate capability of the proposed design in covering the whole surrounding area (360° coverage in azimuth plane). The antenna achieves a realized gain of more than 9 dBi at the mm-wave range and 4 dBi at the microwave range.
