P – Shaped and Elliptical Slot loaded Wideband Microstrip Antenna for 5G Communication

Abstract

5G is the revolution in the wireless communication technology.  Being wireless, an antenna is a significant part of it. The paper proposes a design of Microstrip Patch Antenna, which, due to its planar structure and compact design finds its application in wide range of systems and devices. The proposed antenna is transmission line fed and has a slotted elliptical patch, mounted on FR-4 resin material as a dielectric with relative permittivity ?r = 4.4 and a modified ground, that gives the Gain of 1.5 dB and Bandwidth of 1180 MHz in the simple Patch design. The Gain of 2.06 dB and bandwidth of 1260 MHz in the design with Rectangular Slots on the Patch and the Gain of 2 dB and a wide Bandwidth of 2420 MHz in the Patch design with a Large Elliptical Slot. Hence, it can be observed that the design is characterized by very compact shape and size, wideband operations, and optimized parameters like Bandwidth, Return loss and Gain over existing technology. The design validation is formulated by simulation on finite element method based software – ANSOFT Ansys HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator).
