Design of 28 GHZ Microstrip Mimo Antennas for Future 5g Applications

Abstract

The 5G system requires more significant system capacity, more full bandwidth, and higher frequency. One type of antenna that can be used to increase the channel capacity is microstrip MIMO antenna. The Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. has recently designated the frequency band from 27.5 to 28.35 GHz for 5G applications. In this paper, the design of 28 GHz microstrip MIMO antenna for future 5G applications was proposed. The antenna was designed by using RT Duroid 5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and the loss tangent of 0.0009. The antenna operated from 27.10 GHz to 28.88 GHz with 1.78 GHz (6.35%) of bandwidth. The antenna consisted of four elements feeding by a microstrip line. Based on the simulated results, the high gain of 14.8 dBi is obtained with a linear directional pattern. Comparison performance regarding gain, return loss, VSWR and bandwidth are also presented for single, two and four elements. It is shown that the increasing number of elements of antenna increased the gain and the return loss. The antenna meets the 5G requirements.

Transparent Energy Harvesting Antenna for Vehicle Windshield Application

“…Characterization is needed to get the desired antenna specification. The different shape and dimension of the slot have a different effect; it can affect the frequency, return loss, and radiation pattern of the antenna (Rahayu et al, 2010;Rahayu et al, 2018). Cutting the slot is to optimize the results.…”

“…Teknologi MIMO terkenal dengan kemampuannya untuk meningkatkan kapasitas sistem dan mengurangi efek negatif gangguan multipath, MIMO juga dianggap sebagai kunci untuk mewujudkan komunikasi jaringan Mobile [4,5] dan Base Transceiver Station (BTS) yang menggunakan sistem komunikasi (5G) [6]. Untuk membuat antena MIMO 5G dibutuhkan metode-metode agar mendapatkan bandwidth yang sangat lebar [7]. Dalam perancangan antena mikrostrip, dengan bahan RT Duroid 5880 merupakan substrat yang sesuai untuk frekuensi tinggi.…”
