Compact High Gain Hexagonal Fractal Antenna for 5G applications

This paper presents a Hexagonal Fractal antenna with a side feed. The proposed antenna is designed for 4.2GHz operating frequency and it can be used for wide band application. The results include parametric variation of substrate and also with different feed positions. This antenna offers 5.98dBi of peak gain. Experimentation is carried out and the results are in good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antenna is of compact size 23 mm ×27.5 mm. VSWR is less than 2 for total performing frequency spectrum of 3.6 to 23 GHz with a Bandwidth of 19.4 GHz. A good radiation pattern and return loss are obtained in simulation and experimentation.
