A compact grid array antenna implemented using FR4 substrate for 5G Mobile Communications at 15 GHz is presented. The antenna with dimensions of 49 mm × 58 mm × 1.6 mm has 23 radiating elements to provide high gain. It is excited using coaxial feeding technique. Measurement of the fabricated prototype for the simulated antenna was carried out. Both measured and simulated results agree with each other. The measured result shows that the antenna has achieved an impedance bandwidth of 14% from 13.8 GHz to 15.9 GHz with a gain of 14.4 dBi at 15.9 GHz. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…As a result of the array, the beamwidth reduces to 20.2 • while gain improves by 6.38 dB, where the size of a single element is 7.2 mm × 6.9 mm. In addition, a grid array antenna for 5G mobile devices has been proposed to achieve a higher gain of 12.66 dBi at 28 GHz while the size of the antenna is 15 mm × 15 mm [6]. Hybridization of a dielectric resonator antenna with a metallic patch is another approach to achieve higher gain [7]- [9], where limited space is available.…”

A compact planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) with single layer dielectric load is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna covers 28 GHz millimeter wave frequency bands and can be useful for future 5G hand held devices. The antenna is placed on a mobile phone substrate of dimensions 110 mm × 60 mm reserving 70 mm × 35 mm for a battery, and occupies a small volume of 4 mm × 4 mm × 1.34 mm. The antenna has a wide operating bandwidth (|S11| < −10dB) of 980 MHz (27.47 − 28.45 GHz) and a peak gain of 8.80 dBi with a gain variation of less than 0.55 dB within the antenna bandwidth. The proposed antenna has stable broadside radiation in yz and xz planes with low side lobe levels of -13.3 dB, -14.4 dB, and wide beamwidths of 66.6 • , 64.5 • , respectively. Radiation efficiency and total efficiency of the antenna vary between 97% − 99% and 88% − 96%, respectively. Antennas impedance bandwidth, gain, radiation, and total efficiency are assessed with and without a battery.Index Terms-28 GHz band, millimeter-wave communications, 5G mobile device, PIFA.

“…But with no much space on the current band to provide for larger bandwidth allocation, many options including the use of 3-300 GHz band (sometimes referred as millimeter wave band (Zhouyue & Khan, 2011)) are being considered. At millimeter wave band, microstrip antenna design becomes challenging and to date little is known about antenna design at millimeter wave for cellular or mobile communication (Chen & Zhang, 2013). Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antenna with its starling characteristic of high gain, low cost, ease of manufacture, attractive radiation characteristics and high efficiency Takahashi et al, 1992) becomes a good candidate.…”

Mobile broadband communication systems like the fifth generation (5G) will require large bandwidth allocation. Currently, the sweet spot is congested with no enough spectrum to support higher bandwidth allocation. The millimeter wave band is being explored to provide the needed spectrum with 28 GHz so far identified as a potential carrier frequency. Development of complimentary antennas for transmission and reception on the band therefore become necessary. This paper present the design of linearly polarized radial line slot array antenna at 28 GHz for mobile broadband communication system application. The antenna consists of radiating surface with radius ρ sitting on squared cavity and ground of side 2ρ. It is excited via a rear center mounted modified straight dielectric coated 50 Ω SSMA connector. The cavity is filled with layers of air space, low dielectric constant syntactic foam and high frequency laminate RT/duroid 5880. With ρ = 50 mm and a maximum total cavity height of 3.0 mm, the antenna was simulated using Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio 2014 software. A gain of 18.13 dB, directivity of 18.4 dBi, efficiency of 96 % and impedance bandwidth of up to 2.34 GHz were realized.
