Abstract

In this study, a wideband patch array antenna for high-frequency 5G wireless communication is proposed. The wideband high-frequency 5G antenna is needed to handle the increase in 5G data traffic. The proposed antenna, a 2 × 16 element array with gap-coupled parasitic elements and a multi-section or stepped transformer feeding network with feed cover to prevent unwanted feed radiation, can cover 5G new radio (NR) n257 (26.5–29.5 GHz), n258 (24.25–27.5 GHz), and n261 (27.5–28.35 GHz) bands. Using parasitic elements with a single substrate instead of cavity and stacked structures, a wide impedance bandwidth (dB magnitude of S<sub>11</sub> < –10) of 24.2% (23.75–32 GHz) is achieved. A high cross-polarization discrimination (XPD > 25.2 dB) is achieved using orthogonal dual polarization. The peak gain obtained is 18.69 dB.
