Y-Shaped Dipole High-Frequency Antenna Analysis: An Overview Design as Alternative for Microstrip Antennas

The various improvements in the design and manufacturing of multiple devices, particularly for wireless communications, require the advancement of antenna technology such as Y-shaped antennas. This particular antenna is widely known for its high gain and low loss properties with radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. With a compact and durable design, this type of antenna has applications ranging from data transmission to broadband cellular network technology such as 5G, highlighting its ultra-wideband capabilities in recent research. In this study, EMCoS Antenna VLab software is used to simulate five of the proposed Y-shaped antenna designs of varying scenarios, such as the azimuth angle and elevation angle, so as to conduct a comparison between Y-shaped dipole antennas designed for high operating frequencies, which can be utilized as an alternative to microstrip antennas. The environment is consistent for all with set parameters, including the pole length, wire thickness, frequency range, added far-field, voltage sources, and distance from the grid. The results from these antenna designs will include plots and graphs of the radiation patterns and gain.
