A Compact Monopole Patch Antenna for Future Sub 6 GHz 5G Wireless Applications

A compact printed monopole patch antenna with finite ground for future Sub 6 GHz 5G wireless communications is presented. The microstrip patch antenna with square slot has compact size of 30×34 mm
²
. Good impedance match over wide range (3 - 7 GHz band) is achieved by partial ground plane and optimization of stub. The antenna exhibits omni-directional radiation pattern with high gain over the entire band. The proposed antenna is realized on FR4 laminate and good agreement with simulated results indicate that proposed design can be employed in future 5G wireless applications for wireless communication between Internet of Things nodes.
