Increasing data capacity using a circular array antenna for 5G applications

Abstract

The fifth generation mobile communications system actually is the most important subject in the telecommunication research. As the 5G network is way too faster, learning can be done easily between a larger number of students irrespective of their current location, to find the solutions to the different difficulty of the high frequency. A design of three different array antennas is presented in this paper. The design is done for ku band applications at 16 Ghz, the substrate height is 1.6 mm and the dielectric constant is 4.4 of flame resistant (FR4 epoxy). Simulation is done in high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) and the results are exhibited, directivity, gain, radiation patterns, 3dB beam widths and radiation efficiency are analyzed in detail. Also, an electromagnetic band gap(EBG) structure was used and analyzed with the last design which shows an increase in directivity and gain.
