A Miniaturized Antenna for Millimeter-Wave 5G-II Band Communication

Abstract

This article introduces a miniaturized antenna for 5G-II band millimeter-wave communication. The antenna’s performance is meticulously examined through comprehensive simulations carried out using CST Microwave Studio, employing an FR-4 substrate with dimensions measuring 12 × 14 × 1.6 mm3. The proposed design exhibits exceptional qualities, featuring an impressive impedance bandwidth of 70.4% and a remarkable return loss of −35 dBi. The operational frequency range of this antenna extends from 16.2 GHz to 33.8 GHz, featuring a central frequency of 25 GHz, positioning it effectively within the 5G-II Band. The antenna consistently maintains polar patterns throughout this spectrum, which guarantees dependable and efficient performance. It showcases a substantial gain of 3.85 dBi and an impressive efficiency rating of 82.9%. Renowned for its versatility, this antenna is well suited for a diverse range of applications, including but not limited to Ka band, Ku band, 5G-II bands, and various other purposes in microwaves.
