Abstract
Purpose
An Elephant trunk shape (ETS) radiating element is used to achieve the two covering bands of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna. These frequency bands can be controlled by the length of a slot embedded in ETS. The slot length in ETS plays a defining role in controlling the impedance bandwidth (IBW) of the MIMO antenna, and its diligent adjustment of it leads to cover the frequency range of Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network systems.
Design/methodology/approach
A new MIMO antenna is introduced in this paper in conjunction with an enhanced Wilkinson power divider feeding platform.
Findings
These frequency bands can be controlled by the length of a slot embedded in ETS. The slot length in ETS plays a defining role in controlling the IBW of the MIMO antenna, and its diligent adjustment leads to covering the frequency range of Bluetooth and WLAN systems.
Originality/value
The proposed MIMO antenna benefits from good isolation between ports for both frequency bands. The proposed MIMO antenna is constructed on FR4 substrate with a volume of 90 × 134 × 1.6 mm3.

Abstract
Purpose
This purpose of this study is to present a novel four-element array antenna in combination with a modified Wilkinson power divider feeding network.
Design/methodology/approach
The two covering bands of this planar array antenna are achieved by an Elephant trunk shape (ETS) radiating element; therefore, two frequency bands for Bluetooth (2.4 GHz) and the wireless local area network (WLAN) band (5.15-5.825 GHz) are obtained.
Findings
An improved design of the power divider with curved corners rather than the sharp edges and certain new modifications in the length of matching stubs are implemented.
Originality/value
This paper describes an improved four-way Wilkinson power divider with excellent loss of insertion and adequate return loss for all ports and good isolation performance within two frequency bands (2.4 and 5.5 GHz) and when loaded with array components; the modified power divider complies with the design requirements. To comprehend its behavior, numerical and experimental results are provided. The simulated and measured results indicate a proper bandwidth coverage of the suggested antenna, stable radiation patterns and high gain.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to present a new triangular crinkle-shaped multiband antenna for multiband operation.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper refers to increasing the number of resonance frequency by appending triangular crinkle. Experimental frequency results of the presented antenna are 1.60/2.80/4.00/5.80/7.12/8.32/10.06 GHz.
Findings
The triangular shaped antenna is manufactured on a low-priced FR-4 substrate with small size and tested. The reported antenna with full size 14 × 14 mm2 with a half elliptical ground sheet on the bottom plane of the substrate and a triangular crinkle strip patch in the front of the substrate. The reported antenna has dual polarized, by rectangular slits on the ground sheet can produce the CP radiation on ITU band. The radiation characteristics indicate the mentioned antenna plays good task for multiband structures. Simulation and measured consequences are in desirable agreement and refer to agreeable operation for the introduced antenna.
Originality/value
Also, an evaluation is done based on multiple attribute decision-making method for comparison the proposed monopole antenna with some previously presented multiband monopole antennas.
