Microstrip Patch Antenna Design and Implementation for 5G/B5G Applications

Abstract

As demand for video downloads, wearable devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT) skyrockets, the next generation of communication systems will concentrate on attaining fast data transfer speeds and low energy consumption. These gadgets will be used for several applications, such as healthcare, environment monitoring, tourism, smart grid, intelligent traffic management, and agriculture. New applications need a fast transmission rate and bandwidth for data. The antenna is a crucial component inside communication systems that determines its bandwidth, data rate, and capabilities. Therefore, the authors of this work designed and modeled a microstrip patch antenna (MPA) for 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) applications at 26 GHz frequency using millimeter wave bands. In this proposed design, CST software was used to design and model the antenna.
