A G-shaped Antenna with parasitic element for 5G applications

Abstract

In this paper, a parasitic G-shaped microstrip patch antenna has been designed and simulated with both HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) and CST Microwave Studio Softwares. Parametric analysis has been carried out to find optimized distances of the parasitic elements to achieve desired results. The proposed antenna is simple in design and compact in size and provides two separate impedance bandwidths. It also exhibits appropriate gain characteristics in multiple frequency regions. The performance of the designed antenna was analyzed in term of bandwidth, gain, return loss, VSWR, and radiation pattern.
