Design, Simulation and Analysis of a High Gain Small Size Array Antenna for 5G Wireless Communication

Abstract

Microstrip antennas have become a part and parcel of today's wireless communication world because of their low profile, low cost and ease of fabrication in the circuit boards. But poor performances like narrow bandwidth, low power handling capability, low gain etc. confine their application in some cases. 5th generation (5G) wireless communication will suffer from path loss severely, as high frequency bands will be used. To manage this problem, high gain antenna is required. So, this research is mainly devoted to design a high gain 2 × 2 microstrip patch array antenna. The structure of the antenna is designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio and operates at 28 GHz 5G band. Rogers RT-Duroid 5880LZ is used as the substrate which has a relative permittivity of 1.96. The return loss, gain, bandwidth, VSWR and efficiency of the designed 2 × 2 array antenna is 87 dB, 14 dBi, 1.14 GHz, 1 and almost 93% respectively.

Electromagnetic Metamaterials: A New Paradigm of Antenna Design

“…In wireless communication apart from antenna miniaturization the need for wide bandwidth and high gain is increasing in recent years. At the same time, compact low profile antennas suffer from performance degradation in gain and efficiency due to poor radiation characteristics [105]- [108]. The literature presents numerous approaches to increase the gain and bandwidth of an antenna such as introducing vias, parasitic elements, modifying ground planes, and so on [109]- [113].…”

“…Various antennas operating in the millimeter band have been described in the literature. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In Reference 4, a dual-band four ports multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna has been implemented on a Rogers (5880, 2.2) substrate that offers a peak gain of 7.6 and 8.12 dB at 28 and 38 GHz, respectively. In Reference 5, a four-element array antenna offers a bandwidth of 1.14 GHz and peak gain of 14 dB with a physical dimension of 18.67 Â 18.26 Â 0.35 mm 3 array antenna printed on an artificial magnetic conductor (ACM) substrate for the 5G mm-wave applications is developed with an overall dimension of 80.8 Â 80.8 Â 2.4 mm 3 and it provides an impedance bandwidth of 1.64 GHz (27.85-29.49 GHz) with a peak gain value of 11.62 dB.…”

“…In recent years, several works have been carried out by public research laboratories and manufacturers to obtain antenna structures that can present a significant gain with high bandwidth to support a high data rate. Various antennas operating in the millimeter band have been described in the literature 4–17 . In Reference 4, a dual‐band four ports multiple‐input‐multiple‐output (MIMO) antenna has been implemented on a Rogers (5880, 2.2) substrate that offers a peak gain of 7.6 and 8.12 dB at 28 and 38 GHz, respectively.…”

Certain Investigation on Healthcare Monitoring for Enhancing Data Transmission in WSN

“…This is quite necessary for sensor nodes because the communication itself devour energy from the wireless network nodes. A static system governed by administrator reveals that the sensors require communicating over a large distance thus depleting most of the network energy [ 3 , 4 ]. It will be better to process all the information close by for reducing the number of information to be communicated.…”
