Design and simulation of 26 GHz patch antenna for 5G mobile handset

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a compact microstrip monopole antenna, for fifth generation (5G), can operating in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication. It is consisted of RO4003 with thickness of 0.203 mm and it was designed as planar-fed single-band by placing quarter circular slots on rectangular patch, as a simple and compact structure. Thus, the proposed antenna was simulated in the Ansys HFSS module and various antenna parameters such as radiation performance and ante006Ena gain were obtained in a single frequency range. The return-loss bandwidth was measured as 2.49 GHz centering at 26 GHz, covering the required bandwidth of 5G standard, as a reference of -10 dB.
