The cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is one of the most efficient, low-cost, and energy-efficient radio access techniques proposed as a potential candidate for the implementation of next-generation (NGN) mobile base stations (BSs). A high-performance C-RAN requires an exceptional broadband radio frequency (RF) front end that cannot be guaranteed without remarkable antenna elements. In response, we present state-of-theart antenna elements that are potential candidates for the implementation of the C-RAN's RF front end. We present an overview of C-RAN technology and different types of planar antennas operating at the future proposed fifth-generation (5G) bands that may include the following: (i) ultra-wide band (UWB) (3-12 GHz), (ii) 28/38 GHz, and (iii) 60-GHz radio. Further, we propose different planar antennas suitable for the implementation of C-RAN systems. We design, simulate, and optimize the proposed antennas according to the desired specifications covering the required frequency bands. The key design parameters are calculated, analyzed, and discussed. In our research work, the proposed antennas are lightweight, low-cost, and easy to integrate with other microwave and millimeter-wave (MMW) circuits. We also consider different implementation strategies that can be helpful in the execution of large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) networks.

“…Vertically multilayer-stacked Yagi-Uda antennas have attracted interest in various electromagnetic application areas for their high gain and easy fabrication [1]. However, the bulky structure and narrow impedance bandwidth (Here, the impedance bandwidth mentioned is the range of frequencies for which |S 11 | ≤ −10 dB, i.e., the 50 Ω impedance bandwidth.)…”

Abstract-A compact stacked Yagi antenna is proposed with bandwidth enhancement in this paper. To reduce the size of the antenna and simultaneously improve the front-to-back ratio (FTBR), a reflector, modified with six slots, two λ 0 /4 meanderline-shaped slots and four straight short slots, is employed. Furthermore, a ladder-like director is designed to overcome the mismatch loss caused by the diminution of the height between the reflector and driven dipole. As shown in both simulation and measurement, the proposed compact Yagi antenna can achieve a compact size of 0.55λ 0 ×0.55λ 0 ×0.08λ 0 , a |S 11 | ≤ −10 dB bandwidth of 17.2% and an FTBR of 22 dB at 2.2 GHz. The acceptable results make the proposed Yagi antenna a good candidate for applications where compact size and wide bandwidth are needed.

“…The antenna is the most crucial components of wireless systems as it intensely affects the total receiver sensitivity, thus transceiver designs and choices of digital modulation schemes and the link budget. As a result, the investigation of 60 GHz antenna technology has attracted increasing attention and remarkably, the analysis and design of those antennas is widely reported in numerous research papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].In [2], a multi-layer antenna is presented with mounted horn integrated on FR4, which can achieve a gain of 11.65 dBi. A low-loss/cost substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) feeding scheme to microstrip printed antenna (MPA) is presented in [9] for the first time with the aim of improving the radiation efficiency which was degraded due to conventional planar feeding arrangement in 60-GHz band.…”

The millimeter wave (mmWave) band is considered as the potential candidate for high speed communication services in 5G networks due to its huge bandwidth. Moreover, mmWave frequencies lead to miniaturization of RF front end including antennas. In this article, we provide an overview of recent research achievements of millimeterwave antenna design along with the design considerations for compact antennas and antennas in package/on chip, mostly in the 60 GHz band is described along with their inherent benefits and challenges. A comparative analysis of various designs is also presented. The antennas with wide bandwidth, high-gain, compact size and low profile with easiness of integration in-package or on-chip with other components are required for 5G enabled applications.
