Numerical simulations demonstrate the viability of providing 1 and 10 Gbps using the 6 and 38 GHz frequency bands, respectively, which have been considered potential for 5G systems. A performance analysis has been carried out as a function of 64-QAM constellations, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER). The applicability of the proposed architecture is illustrated by simultaneously transmitting a baseband signal at 2.5 Gbps with BER as low as 10−10 and two different 5G signals at 6 and 38 GHz with SNR higher than 38 dB and BER of 10−3.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123465980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to the right of the isolated magnetic-resonance mini-band, there appears a wider transmission band (4–8 GHz) with multiple ripples which are identified as being of forward and backward types alternately. Unlike previous works on SRR-loaded waveguides, in which all the transmission resonances in the second band have been classified as of the forward-type, the occurrence of backward-wave transmission peaks in the second transmission band, as it is demonstrated here, has never been reported.","PeriodicalId":171284,"journal":{"name":"2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116911780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To suppress the second and third harmonics a spur-line filter was inserted in the antenna microstrip feed line. The measured and simulated results are presented for the proposed antenna.
