Abstract In this paper, a rack shaped two radiator element multiple input multiple output (MIMO) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is reported with improved axial ratio (AR) characteristics for ultra-wideband applications. The proposed MIMO antenna structure is implemented with the help of two rectangular shaped radiator elements which are further changed into rack shaped dielectric resonator (DR) that support three modes H ­ EM111, ­HEM121, and ­HEM212, at 7.3, 9.3, 10.74  GHz respectively. The approach of rack shaped DRA has improved the transmission coefficient for the UWB range. Inverted T-shaped metallic strip apart from giving elliptically polarized (EP) characteristics also helps in controlling both the axial ratio bandwidth and impedance bandwidth (101.87%). The simulated and measured outcomes validated that the proposed antenna can be utilized for 3.54– 10.89 GHz ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency range. The MIMO diversity parameters are implemented as ECC ≤ 0.0059, DG ≥ 9.93  dB, TARC (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180) degrees, GD (0.96 to − 2.1 ns) and CCL (≤ 0.4 except of 8.8–9.6 GHz). All the obtained MIMO antenna parameters are within the acceptable limit and also provides high data rate applications in C and X bands.

medicinal services wireless system due to their low power spectral density, basic equipment design, high information transmission rates, minimal effort, high accuracy extending ability and low power utilization [1]. As far as UWB antenna configuration, there are a few difficulties to be tackled to accomplish minimized receiving wire estimate, high radiation effectiveness, and consistent addition while limiting electromagnetic obstructions from adjacent narrowband systems. In past few decades, Dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) has fronted for UWB applications as a result of many striking characteristics like low conductor losses, high radiation efficiency, a high degree of design flexibility, and easy to excitation [2, 3]. Small size is chosen for dielectric resonator (DR), high permittivity material selected because dimension of DR is inve
