A dual-mode wideband slotted patch antenna using characteristic mode analysis (CMA) on substrate integrated suspended line (SISL) platform is presented. The proposed antenna combines the fundamental mode (TM 01 ) and a higher-order mode (TM 21 ) of a rectangular patch to enhance antenna bandwidth. First, detailed studies into the modal significance, far-field pattern, and current distribution on the potential radiating patch with the assistance of the CMA. The split radiation pattern of the TM 21 mode is reshaped into a single directive pattern through slotloading techniques on the rectangular patch. The TM 21 shifts close to the fundamental mode with similar polarization currents at the short-edge length of the patch. Fullwave simulations are performed to verify the CMA report by exciting the TM 01 and TM 21 modes. The proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. The experimental results agree well with the simulations and show a À10 dB bandwidth of 3.30-3.65 GHz. An average gain and efficiency of more than 7.0 dBi and 86% are accomplished in measurement over the operation band of the ongoing 5G communication. Besides, the antenna exhibits a compact size, low cost, and self-package characteristics.
An n‐shaped antenna with multimode for wideband application based on substrate integrated suspended line (SISL) platform is presented using characteristic mode analysis (CMA). By exciting three modes simultaneously, a wideband characteristic is achieved. The size of the proposed antenna is 0.74 λ0 × 1.47 λ0 × 0.11 λ0 (where λ0 is the free‐space operating wavelength at the center frequency of 6.205 GHz). The antenna prototype is fabricated and measured. Experimental results show that in the band of 5.1–7.31 GHz, |S11| <−10 dB, and the realized gain is from 5.2 to 9.8 dBi which can be used for WLAN and 5G wireless communication system.
