Abstract:
In this paper, a 28GHz microstrip patch antenna
(MSPA) design and performance analysis for fifth-generation
(5G) communication systems is presented. The antenna is
designed using FR-4 substratematerialwith thickness of 0.244
mm, and dielectric constant (εr) of 4.4 to operate at 28 GHz
and analyzed using CST (Computer Simulation Technology)
simulator. The simulated results show that, the beam-gain of
7.587 dBi, directivity of 7.509 dBi, the radiation efficiency of
98.214 %, and bandwidth of 1.046 GHz. As compared to other
similar designs reported in the literature, the proposed
antenna shows significantly better bandwidth, beam-gain,
return loss, and radiation efficiency. Therefore, the proposed
antenna gives a highly competitive performance as related to
other works, and also, it is a potential candidate antenna type
for 5G communication systems.
