A New mm-Wave Antenna Array with Wideband Characteristics for Next Generation Communication Systems

Abstract

This paper presents a planar multi-circular loop antenna with a wide impedance bandwidth for next generation mm-wave systems. The proposed antenna comprises three circular rings with a partial ground plane with a square slot. The resonating structure is designed on a 0.254 mm thin RO5880 substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.3. The single element of the proposed design showed a resonance response from 26.5 to 41 GHz, with a peak gain of 4 dBi and radiation efficiency of 96%. The proposed multicircular ring antenna element is transformed into a four-element array system. The array size is kept at 18.25 × 12.5 × 0.254 mm3 with a peak gain of 11 dBi. The antenna array is fabricated and measured using the in-house facility. The simulated and measured results are well agreed upon and are found to be suitable for mm-wave communication systems.

Sub 6 GHz Smartphone Antenna with Dual-Band Monopole Resonators for 5G Communications

“…Figure 8 assesses the primary radiation beam of one subarray at its second resonance frequency, 5.6 GHz. The 1×4 subarray has demonstrated its ability to produce high-gain radiation beams, enabling wide beam steering capabilities, as supported by previous research [29][30]. Similar performance can be anticipated for the first resonance frequency, suggesting the consistent and reliable functionality of the design across different operational frequencies.…”

A Compact MIMO Multiband Antenna for 5G/WLAN/WIFI-6 Devices

“…For calculating TARC, the laboratory-measured S-parameters of a two-element MIMO multiband antenna were used in the following mathematical relationship [ 23 , 24 ]: where a i denotes an incident wave and b i denotes a reflected wave. It is evident in Figure 16 that TARC was below −10 dB in all the bands of operation.…”

Planar MIMO antenna for mmWave applications: Evolution, present status & future scope

“…Hence this can be obtained through Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas at the mmWave band [ 40 ]. The discussion of array antennas is out of scope in this article as these antennas are categories based on feeding techniques [ [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] ] and reconfigurability [ [45] , [46] , [47] ]. Hence, the focus of this review article is restricted to planar MIMO antennas because these antennas perform better in terms of gain, bandwidth, directivity, and data rate.…”
