A compact dual-band Dolly-shaped antenna with parasitic elements for automotive radar and 5G applications

Abstract

In this paper, a compact dual-band Dolly-shaped antenna (DBDSA), resonating at 23.52 GHz and 28.39 GHz, is proposed for automotive radar, 5G, and Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) applications. The antenna is designed on a 7 Â 7 Â 1.28 mm 3 which is 0.541λ 0 Â0.541λ 0 Â0.099λ 0 in electric size, where λ 0 represents the free space wavelength at 23.16 GHz. Rogers RO3010 substrate with a dielectric constant of 10.2 and a loss tangent is about 0.0022 has been used. Two F-shaped parasitic elements and a rectangular slot have been used to achieve the desired electromagnetic antenna performances. After modeling and optimizing the proposed antenna configuration through High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software, its prototype was manufactured and measured to validate the simulated results. The DBDSA achieves an overall radiation efficiency of 80% within the two operating frequency bands. The radar band exhibits a stable gain of 5.51 dBi, while the 5G band has a gain of 4.55 dBi. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the |S 11 | -10 dB bandwidths are 1.16 GHz (23.16 GHz-24.32 GHz) in the lower band and 634 MHz (28.078 GHz-28.712 GHz), respectively. A good agreement is found between the simulated and measured results.

A Compact High-Gain Microstrip Patch Antenna with Improved Bandwidth for 5G Applications

“…In [13]. In the same year, A. Pon Bharathi et al proposed a compact microstrip patch antenna using DGS for 5G applications [14]. The researcher achieved broadband of 6GHz, but the gain was minimal at the resonating frequency.…”

Asymmetric‐fed triband antenna for military radars and 5G applications using microstrip technology

“…However, this results in creating another challenge with the device's size and the side coupling effects between radiating elements [12][13][14][15][16]. To eschew that tendency, a single device is preferred for numerous technologies encompassing the modicum requirements [9,17]. The main goal of this work is to develop a miniature and multiband antenna with high performance.…”

“…On the other hand, at the blow of the 5th Generation technology, coexistence with other technology in a single system is of great interest. Therefore, the radar technology can be combined to it based on the requirement to detect signal from the vehicle [9] or different other applications [10] based on the specifications. This is because of the numerous advantages that the latter (5G) offers, such as low latency, greater bandwidth, and so on [11].…”

A miniaturized dual-band planar antenna with a square ring defected ground structure for 5G millimetre-wave applications

“…In the last few decades, several planar antennas for WLAN, LTE/4G, WiMAX, and 5G applications have been investigated in the open literature. Different Microstrip antenna shapes, including Heart-shaped [3], rectangular [4], circular shapes [5]- [7]; Dolly-shaped [8], and Rho-shaped [9], along with dual-band techniques such as defected ground structures (DGS), slots or slits etching and Metamaterials have been investigated. A circular patch antenna for 5G applications to compare two feeding techniques, namely, coaxial probe and Microstrip line is designed in [10].…”
