A Reliable Antenna Array for the 28GHz mmWave Band in a 5G Massive MIMO Communication

The high communication performance specifications of the 5G wireless cellular communication standards require electronic components that can reliably support such standards. One such component is the antenna. The antenna is one of the most useful components in wireless communication, and hence, its performance heavily influences the performance of a wireless communication system. In this study, we propose a planar 10×10 microstrip patch antenna (MPA) array for a 5G massive multiple inputs multiple outputs (mMIMO) wireless communication. The antenna was designed and simulated using Pathwave Advanced Design System (ADS), and it achieves a gain of 21.97dBi, radiation efficiency of 0.93, bandwidth of 0.45GHz, and beamwidth of 0.76rad on the 28GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) band of 5G mMIMO communication.
