“…One of the easiest ways to enhance antenna performance is to amplify using resonators or parasitic elements. Parasitic patches can be placed around the patch antenna, designed to maximize the return loss, VSWR and radiation pattern parameters ( [2]- [11]). Here are some studies on microstrip antennas using parasitic patches to increase the bandwidth or total gain of the antenna [12]- [20], and proximity coupling [21]- [23].…”

Research on improving the performance of microstrip antennas is continuously developing the following technology; this is due to its light dimensions, cheap and easy fabrication, and performance that is not inferior to other dimension antennas. Especially in telecommunications, microstrip antennas are constantly being studied to increase bandwidth and gain according to current cellular technology. Based on the problem of antenna performance limitations, optimization research is always carried out to increase the gain to become the antenna standard required by 5G applications. This research aims to increase the gain by designing a 5-element microstrip planar array antenna arrangement at a uniform distance (lamda/2) with edge weights at a frequency of 2.6 GHz, Through the 1x5 antenna design with parasitic patch, without parasitic, and using proximity coupling.This study hypothesizes that by designing an N-element microstrip planar array antenna arrangement at uniform spacing (lamda/2) with edge weights, a multi-beam radiation pattern character will be obtained so that to increase gain, parasitic patches contribute to antenna performance. This research contributes to improving the main lobe to increase the gain performance of the 1x5 planar array antenna. Based on the simulation results of a 1x5 microstrip planar array antenna using a parasitic patch and edge weighting, a gain value of 7.34 dB is obtained; without a parasitic patch, a gain value of 7.03 dB is received, using a parasitic patch and proximity coupling, a gain value of 2.29 dB is obtained. The antenna configuration with the addition of a parasitic patch, even though it is only supplied at the end (edge weighting), is enough to contribute to the parameters impedance, return loss, VSWR, and total gain based on the resulting antenna radiation pattern. The performance of the 1x5 microstrip planar array antenna with parasitic patch and double substrate (proximity coupling), which is expected to contribute even more to the gain side and antenna performance, has yet to be achieved. The 1x5 planar array antenna design meets the 5G gain requirement of 6 dB.

“…Main beam directions of 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180° can be steered. Also, a wideband tapered slot antenna with three directions of beam switching was presented in [23]. In addition, compact array antenna that beam patterns can steered using parasitic elements was revealed in [24] which five main beam directions were achieved.…”

This work proposes a simple design of switched beam antenna on square split-ring resonator to operate in multiband frequencies. The antenna is designed to support fifth generation (5G) wireless applications. The proposed antenna provides two different of the main beams, 45˚/225˚±5˚ and 135˚/315˚±5˚, by shorted circuit at 4 different edges. The designed antenna can support nine frequency bands, 7.071, 9.006, 9.321, 9.906, 10.428, 10.718, 12.967, 13.057 and 14.469 GHz, which are the high-band of 5G spectrum when shorted circuit to the ground conductor. The antenna provides maximum gain of 6.41 dBi. The dimension of the antenna is 6×6 mm<sup>2</sup> which the thickness of 1.73 mm. The proposed design is based on a simple beam switching antenna configuration, compact size and low-cost manufacturing.
