Abstract:The 57-71 GHz millimeter-wave (mmWave) Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band holds significant potential for enhancing the performance of next-generation industrial wireless applications. This paper first presents the design and analysis of a compact and high-performance 8-element series-fed frequency beam-scanning array designed to cover the entire 21.87% fractional bandwidth of the 57-71 GHz ISM band. Using this as a subarray, a hybrid parallel-series feed topology is designed to construct a 64eleme… Show more
“…The collective effect of multiple patch elements in the array results in higher overall gain compared to a single antenna element. Beamforming with a uniform linear array helps minimize interference and increases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), leading to improved overall signal quality [18][19][20][21][22][23]. A uniform linear microstrip patch antenna array, shown in Figure 1, is advantageous for beamforming applications due to its ability to enhance gain, improve signal quality, and adapt to changing conditions.…”
5/6G is anticipated to address challenges such as low data speed and high latency in current cellular networks, particularly as the number of users overwhelms 4G and LTE capabilities. This paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna array comprising six radiating patches and utilizing a microstrip line feeding technique to facilitate the compact design crucial for 5G implementation. ROGER 3003, chosen for its advanced and environmentally friendly features, serves as the dielectric material, ensuring suitability for 5G and B5G applications. The designed antenna, evaluated at a resonating frequency of 28.8 GHz with a −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 1 GHz, offers a high gain of 9.19 dBi. Its compact array, cost-effectiveness, and broad impedance and radiation coverage position it as a viable candidate for 5G and future communication applications.

“…Its relatively high frequency allows large bandwidth allocations, enabling the transmission of extensive amounts of data at high speed. Moreover, the shorter wavelengths associated with this frequency band enable the design of compact antenna arrays [2], making it well-suited for integration in compact electronic devices. In literature, researchers have explored many techniques to achieve beamforming [4] [5] [6].…”
5G is supposed to be the solution of issues the current cellular network is facing like low data speed and higher latency, as the number of users comes online 4G and LTE gets unable to handle users. To enable a 5G compact size microstrip patch antenna plays an important role. A microstrip patch antenna array is being proposed in this paper which consists of six radiating patches and is fed using a microstrip line feeding technique. ROGER 3003 is employed as a dielectric material because of its advance and environmentfriendly features which makes it suitable for the application of 5G and B5G.The designed antenna is evaluated based on its resonating frequency at 28.8GHz with a -10 dB impedance bandwidth of 1GHz. The antenna if offering a high gain of 9.19dBi. impedance and radiation coverage with a compact antenna array having low cost makes it to be a suitable candidate for 5G and beyond communication applications.
