A dual band antenna design for future millimeter wave wireless communication at 24.25 GHz and 38 GHz

Abstract

This paper proposes a dual band antenna for future millimeter wave wireless communication. The performance of this dual band antenna is analyzed in term of reflection coefficient when some of the length of the patch antenna was adjustable, overall gain and total efficiency for both frequencies respectively. The size of this presented patch antenna is 4.9 × 7.6 mm2. The dual band antenna was fabricated on a RTRogers5880 with a dielectric constant of £=2.2 and thickness of the substrate is 0.127 mm. The simulated result obtained the reflection coefficient as a requirement of the antenna which is not less than −10 dB for 24.25 GHz and 38 GHz that capable to cover 5G applications. The proposed antenna has achieved a maximum gain up to 5.5 dBi and 4.5 dBi at desired frequencies respectively. All design and simulation are carried out using CST Microwave Studio software. The proposed antenna design could be suitable to be applied as a device to the 5G wireless system.
