Modified Design and Fabrication of a broadband Millimeter-Wave Ankh-Key Antenna for 5G and Next Generations Applications

Recently, researches and industries are moving toward new technologies. A modified Ankh Key microstrip antenna is designed, fabricated and measured to work in K
a
, V, W and G bands enhancing the use of 5G and next generation applications. The Multiband antenna can operate in the 28 GHz, 37GHz, 60 GHz, 80GHz, and beyond 140 GHz bands with peak gain between 6.3 dBi - 10.25 dBi along the operating spectrum making it possible for use in various applications. The low cost single layer antenna was simulated and results were compared using HFSS and CST softwares showing promising results.
