“…Though the gain of proposed antenna is lower than the antennas in Leszkowska et al [17][18][19] , it achieves wider IBW and larger ARBW as compared to all designs listed in Table 1. In addition, compared to designs 12,[14][15][16][17]20 and, 21 our proposed antenna has the smallest overall size.…”

“…10 Among the limitations of the CPW-fed monopole antenna are its low gain and narrow bandwidth. 11 To address the limitation of low gain, research proposed different approaches including parasitic elements, 12 electromagnetic band gap structures, 13 and metamaterial-based antenna. 14 Among these methods, the latter is the most attractive due to its ability to influence the magnitude, phase, and polarization of the antenna radiation in ways that were not previously achievable by using traditional materials.…”

This letter presents a coplanar waveguide‐fed printed monopole antenna backed by an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) reflector. The proposed monopole antenna achieves circular polarization by loading the monopole with a printed coil and using an asymmetric ground plane. In addition, the AMC increases the antenna gain while maintaining a wide axial ratio (AR) bandwidth. The unit cell of the AMC is based on a Minkowski‐like prefractal geometry. The antenna is fabricated and measured with a total size of 1.07 λ0 × 1.07 λ0 × 0.25 λ0 at the operating frequency of 8.5 GHz. The measured results show a wide −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 26.9% (7.12–9.38 GHz), a wide 3 dB AR bandwidth of 22.23% (8–9.89 GHz) as well as a peak gain of 8.3 dBi at 8.5 GHz. This is significantly better than comparable antennas in addition to this design being the smallest in size.

“…Several studies have been presented in this research area with different perspectives, mainly based on four types of antennas: monopole [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], dipole [ 12 ], helical [ 13 ], and microstrip patch. The application of patch antennas for 5G is in full development for CubeSats [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], mobile communications [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], and the use of new frequency bands for this technology [ 21 , 22 , 23 ]. This type of antenna stands out for its practicality for application in nanosatellites through the design of antenna elements or arrays focused on the operating frequencies of the ultra-high frequency (UHF,) L, S, X, Ku, and K bands.…”

This paper presents a low-profile microstrip antenna with high gain for fifth-generation (5G) CubeSat applications. The proposed design consists of 16 miniaturized patch antennas distributed in a uniform 4 × 4 topology with a feeding network on Rogers TMM10 substrate. The antenna array was simulated in CST Studio Suite® software and fabricated for performance testing on the CubeSat structure. The prototype works perfectly from 3.46 GHz to 3.54 GHz. The simulated and measurement results reveal remarkable performance. The design obtained a measured gain of 8.03 dBi and a reflection coefficient of −17.4 dB at the center frequency of 3.5 GHz. Due to its reduced dimensions of 10 × 10 cm, this design is an excellent alternative for mounting on a CubeSat structure as it combines efficient performance with a low profile.

“…In general, the addition of multiple side resonators is widely used, with plenty of examples in the scientific literature for single antennas. They include 5G applications [9], [10], Antenna-in-Package (AiP) solutions [11], MIMO antenna systems [12], [13], and automotive applications [14]. All these prototypes rely on subtractive manufacturing technology, such as the metallized substrate etching process, as there is no evidence of 3D-printed antennas, least of all curved layouts adopting this solution.…”

The use of parasitic resonant patches is a widespread technique to improve the bandwidth of microstrip patch antennas. Exploiting the free form-factor allowed by 3D-printing manufacturing technology, we present here a novel curved patch antenna layout, based on the non-radiating edge gap-coupled patch configuration. The proposed antenna is composed of a central curved patch, fed by a coaxial probe, and two gap-coupled parasitic side curved patches. This solution features a percentage impedance bandwidth of 16.3% using symmetrical parasitic side patches and 31.5% using asymmetrical side patches. A significant improvement of the bandwidth in comparison with both the standard non-radiating edge gap-coupled microstrip antenna (6.1% bandwidth) and the standard curved patch antenna (9% bandwidth) is achieved. Design and optimization of the proposed configuration are performed using the commercial software CST Studio Suite at the center frequency of 2.45 GHz. Prototypes of the symmetrical curved non-radiating edge gap-coupled patch antenna have been manufactured for the experimental verification, using a curved 3Dprinted polylactic acid (PLA) substrate, fabricated with the commercial 3D printer PRUSA MK3S+, and a 50µm-thick adhesive aluminum tape for the metallization. Measured results show a very good agreement with simulations.INDEX TERMS Curved patch, Bandwidth enhancement, Microstrip antennas, 3D printed antennas
