A Novel Lumped Lc Resonator Antenna With Air-Substrate for 5g Mobile Terminals

Abstract

The extending applications for mobile computing have experienced immense progress over the previous decade. However, this has ultimately influenced the shortage of bandwidth. Therefore, to fulfill the consumers' demand, inexpensive antennas need to be uniquely designed for the next/fifth generation (5G) frequency spectrum. Consequently, this paper presents a novel antenna composed of inductors (L) or capacitors (C) on an air-substrate. Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) materials are utilized to fabricate the lumped LC resonator prototype. The effects of antenna's and substrate's thickness on resonant frequency or bandwidth have been studied. The finalized configuration engaged 1113 sq. mm area and operated at 28 GHz with approximately 3 GHz bandwidth. At resonant frequency, the system demonstrates peak gain and efficiency values of 10.6 dBi and 91%, respectively. The core objective of this paper is to report an antenna featuring simple and economical design along with premium results for 5G mobile terminals.

A Low-Profile Quasi-Loop Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna Featuring a Wide Bandwidth and Circular Polarization for 5G mmWave Device-to-Device Communication

“…The ME dipole described in [19] accomplished a bandwidth >14 GHz, but it occupied a large area of ~12𝜆 along with a complex design. Likewise, the lumped LC resonators [21] and the traveling-wave [31], helical [33], and hybrid helical-spiral [35] structures left a considerable footprint. In contrast with the recent ME dipole antennas presented in [57][58][59][60], the proposed antenna outperforms in terms of its simple design, low cost, compact size, and large bandwidth.…”

“…Research demonstrates that wideband antennas can be realized with complementary structures [18], magneto-electric (ME) dipoles [19], slotted radiators [20], lumped LC resonators [21], parasitic elements [22], and a reactive impedance surface [23]. However, most of these methods exhibit spurious coupling, low gain, design complexity, or a large footprint.…”

Optimization of Multi-Band Characteristics in Fan-Stub Shaped Patch Antenna for LTE (CBRS) and WLAN Bands

“…Reconfigurable Smart Surface (RSS) technology is considered to be a new cellular communication paradigm to improve services [1][2] in the communication world. Fractal Ultra-wideband (UWB) or multiband magneto-electric dipole antenna [3][4], Vivaldi antenna [5], lumped LC resonator antenna [6] all are portable and extendable antennas for wide applications. However, their fabrications are complex because of the multi-slots based geometry.…”
