Design And Development Of Microstrip Patch Antenna For 5g Application

Abstract

This paper presents the design of single band microstrip patch antenna for 5G applications. Now a days, most of the fields are adopting the 5G technology to connect millions of devices together. This future technology can be used in smart buildings, machine communications (IOT), Robotics and Greater speed data transmission applications. For better communication between the devices, it is necessary to design a efficient antenna. Mostly 5G antennas are used in microwave as well as millimeter frequency bands. 3.5 GHz range which falls under the C-band which is the basis for the 1st implementations of 5G technology worldwide. The commercially available FR4 substrate which has the flame resistant property, have been used in this antenna with an overall dimension of 29.8 x 36x1.6mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> . The proposed antenna operates in the 5G bandwidth of 3.4-3.6 GHz with the resonating frequency of 3.5 GHz. The proposed 5G antenna had been designed and simulated in the ANSYS HFSS software. The resultant antenna shows the return loss -22dB at 3.5 GHz, good Sparameter, acceptable gain and radiation efficiency.
