Compact Microstrip Antenna Design for 5G Communication in Millimeter Wave at 28 GHz

Abstract

In this study, we proposed a compact microstrip monopole antenna, can operating in millimeter wave communication. It is consisted of FR4 with thickness of 1.6mm and it was designed as planar-fed single-band by placing rectangular slots on square patch, as a simple and compact structure. Thus, the proposed antenna was simulated in the Ansys HFSS module and various antenna parameters such as radiation performance and antenna gain were obtained in a single frequency range. The return-loss bandwidth was measured as 716 MHz centering at 28 GHz, covering the required bandwidth of 5G standard, as a reference of-10 dB..
