Simulation of a pentagon-shaped wideband miniature antenna for 5G mobile networks

Abstract

This paper provides a miniature pentagon-shaped patch antenna based on metamaterial cells fed by a microstrip line for 5G mobile networks. The CSRR: complementary split ring resonators is the metamaterial structure chosen for the miniaturization of our proposed antenna for 5G mobile applications where its parameters have been studied in the frequency range from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz. The DGS: Defected Ground Structure technique was applied to improve the bandwidth and gain. In comparison to the initial antenna that was proposed without the use of metamaterials, this one achieves a miniaturization ratio of 17.93 %.
