“…Firstly, the variation of the differential return loss (S 11dd -parameter) of the proposed antenna with different inset-lengths is studied, and we find that frequency tuning is achieved with different insetlengths. Approximately 1 GHz frequency tuning is achieved with a change in inset-length from 1 mm to 18 mm [17]. This is the maximum allowed change as per the dimension of the proposed antenna.…”

“…However, most of them follow stacked or low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) layers rendering the whole system complicated and expensive [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Furthermore, only a few of them employ double layered designs [15][16][17][18]. In the area of consumer applications, where we need performance at low cost, a structurally simple antenna with improved gain is in high demand.…”

In this paper, a differentially fed, structurally simple, patch antenna, operating at 5.2 GHz is presented. The proposed antenna is particularly designed for a base station, Gallium Nitride (GaN) transmitter. The antenna is composed of an H-shaped patch, backed by a ground plane, with two differential feeds placed at the longitudinal edges. The size of the antenna is 0.55λ 0 × 0.49λ 0 × 0.27λ 0 (where λ 0 is the free space wavelength at the center frequency). A prototype of the stand-alone antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured. The antenna offers a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) bandwidth of 4% and a differential impedance of 100 Ω, which matches most of the differential integrated circuits. The measured gain and directivity of the proposed differential antenna are 5.3 dBi and 7 dB, respectively. From simulation it is observed that the proposed antenna possesses a front to back ratio of 15.69 dB and a 3 dB beamwidth of 84 •. The measured peak efficiencies of the antenna in the lower and higher bands are 84% and 59%, respectively. Details of the design and lumped model, along with the experimental and simulated results, are presented and discussed. The effect of scaling different design parameters for operation at different frequency bands is considered as well.

A slotted microstrip patch antenna for fifth‐generation (5G) mobile applications is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna addresses the intrinsic narrow bandwidth of patch antennas by introducing rectangular slots in the form of a disjointed H‐slot to broaden the bandwidth. The patch design and the slots introduce two extra resonances to broaden the bandwidth of the antenna. An impedance bandwidth of 26.6% from 24.95 to 32.6 GHz was achieved. A measured peak gain of 9.44 dBi was also achieved with a minimum half‐power beamwidth of 36° over the entire bandwidth. The proposed slotted patch antenna is implemented on a 44.6 mm × 26.3 mm × 0.8 mm RT5880 Printed Circuit Board.
