Minaret Shape Micro-Strip Patch Antenna with Partial Ground Plane for Lower 5G and Wi-Max Applications

Abstract

Antennas are a difficult component to design, yet they play critical functions in wireless transmission systems. To construct the required antenna, the antenna designer must overcome enormous challenges in getting all of the antenna's optimal qualities. Antenna designers must consider antenna factors like bandwidth, return loss, VSWR, gain, directivity, efficiency, and so on, for specific applications. So keep all parameter values as optimal as possible; sometimes you may need to adjust the design of the antenna from its standard shape. The present investigation describes the development of a partial ground-plane micro-strip patch antenna in the shape of a minaret for use in lower 5G and Wi-MAX networks. A microstrip patch antenna with a minaret-shaped radiating element and a partial ground plane is suggested. The suggested antenna is simple because it does not include any unwanted components on the patch, yet the significant gain is maintained by optimizing the ground plane's dimensions and position. The proposed antenna is constructed using a Rogers RT5880 (lossy) substrate, the line feeding method, and 0.035 mm thick (annealed) copper for the patch and ground components. CST Studio Suite 2018 is used for layout and modelling. The antenna is 28 x 16 x 0.79 mm3 and offers a maximum gain of 2.321 dB and a maximum directivity of 2.529 dBi. The recommended antenna has a frequency range of 3.3721 GHz to 4.2382 GHz, making it usable for both low-band 5G and Wi-MAX systems.
