Millimeter wave microstrip patch antenna for 5G mobile communication

This paper presents a micro strip patch antenna for future 5G-communication technology at centered frequency 38GHz and 54GHz having bandwidth 1.94GHz and 2GHz respectively with low cost substrate and small size patch best suited for miniaturized devices. It consists of Rogers RT5880 (lossy) substrate with dielectric constant 2.2 with loss tangent of 0.0013 and standard thickness 0.508mm, PEC patch and PEC ground. Substrate of dimensions 6mm×6.25mm and patch with dimensions 2mm×2mm is used. Microstrip-line feeding technique is used. Array having 4 elements with 4mm spacing has been proposed to achieve 12 dB gain for mobile data Applications on millimeter wave frequencies at 38.6GHz, 47.7GHz and 54.3GHz having bandwidth 3.5GHz, 2.5GHz and 1.3GHz respectively with Tapered line feeding. Overall size of antenna is 6mm×6.25mm×0.578mm. The proposed Antenna design is simulated on CST Microwave Studio.
