Design of a Compact High Gain Microstrip Patch Antenna for Tri-Band 5 G Wireless Communication

Abstract

In this paper, a Tri-band microstrip-line-fed low profile microstrip patch antenna is proposed for future multi-band 5 G wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna is printed on a compact Rogers RT5880 substrate of dimensions 20×16.5×0.508 mm3 with relative permittivity, εr of 2.2 and loss tangent, tan δ of 0.0009. To improve return loss and bandwidth of the proposed antenna, a partial ground plane technique is employed. The proposed antenna operates at 10, 28, and 38 GHz, three of the selected frequencies which are allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for 5 G mobile communications. To reduce interference between the 5 G system and other systems in the band, a pair of T-shaped slots is etched in the radiating patch to reject unwanted frequency bands. The proposed design provides a gain of 5.67 dB at 10 GHz, 9.33 dB at 28 GHz and 9.57 dB at 38 GHz; the radiation pattern is mostly directional. The proposed antenna is designed and optimized using two commercial 3D full-wave software, viz. CST microwave studio and Ansoft HFSS. A prototype of the designed antenna that was fabricated and showed good agreement between the actual measurements of S11 & VSWR and the simulation results using both software.

Design and simulation of dual-band rectangular microstrip patch array antenna for millimeter-wave

“…The technology of 5G that holds the millimeter wave is involved to overcome current limits like slow data transmission rate and spectrum shortage. The 5G technology also propositions better analysis as matched to that of earlier generations [16], [17]. Millimeter waves have an unemployed range 3-300 GHz to satisfy the novel generation's requests.…”

Design and Implementation of UWB Slot-Loaded Printed Antenna for Microwave and Millimeter Wave Applications

“…Most of the devices were developed and reached much higher standards in order to have low profile, light weight, and low cost which are often highly demanded. To achieve these requirements microstrip patch antenna has been widely used because of its compact structure, low profile, and easy integration [6]. However, conventional microstrip antennas suffer from very narrow frequency band, which is typically only a fraction of a percent or at the most few percent [1].…”
