Abstract
In this paper, Aiming at the problems of high delay, high density, and low transmission rate of 5G mobile communication in a maglev train, a linear array antenna with 5G parallel feed of 3.45 GHz is proposed to solve the problem of low gain of 5G antenna in n78 band. The antenna is based on a non-traditional Wilkinson power splitter structure to improve antenna gain. The power divider is finally extended to eight. Antenna design on low-cost FR4 material dielectric substrate while improving antenna gain, with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. Firstly, the original size of the patch is calculated based on Matlab software and optimized by HFSS electromagnetic software simulation. Finally, the results are relatively matched by comparing the experiment with the simulation. The antenna was sequentially improved from 3.2 dB to 5.6 dB, 8.2 dB, and 9.3 dB, which are 75%, 45.42%, and 11.41% higher than the previous level of the antenna of its design, respectively, and finally 6.1 dB higher. After simulation and testing, it can be seen that the antenna has the advantages of high gain, low sidelobe, low cost, and strong directivity.
