Small Size Broadband Printed Antenna for 5G Applications Covering 28 GHz / 38 GHz and 60 GHz Bands

Abstract

This work offers the radiation insight of a compact modified monopole rectangular printed antenna suitable for 5G applications. A Double copper cladded RT Duroid 5880 material sheet with dimensions 4.4×5.0×0.5mm3 is chosen as the base substrate in the offered design with a loss tangent of 0.004 and a dielectric constant of 2.2. In the provided strategy lower-left corner of a rectangular printed antenna is made in the form of a smooth circular curve. After extensive simulation, a circular slot with an elliptical patch is incorporated into this monopole antenna. The designed antenna parameters are adjusted to cover the impedance bandwidth from 21.7 GHz to more than 70.0 GHz. Three resonances at 28.0 GHz, 38.1 GHz and 60.2 GHz were observed in three bands allocated for 5G communication applications. The efficiency and gain values found sustained in the entire bandwidth range. Stable and desired radiation patterns at all three resonant frequencies 28/38/60 GHz prove the suitability of this antenna for recent 5G applications.
