A Meander Line Microstrip Patch Antenna for Mid-Band 5G Spectrum

Abstract

A novel meander line-shaped patch transceiver is proposed for the mid-band 5G applications. To achieve integration in the micro-strip patch antenna, DGS (Defective Ground Structure) is incorporated into the ground plan under it. The proposed transceiver is prepared with less expensive Flame Retardant 4 dielectric material. The antenna’s performance was assessed using return loss, operating bandwidth, gain, VSWR, and radiation pattern parameters. The structure has been updated and analyzed using HFSS, which provides a high degree of accuracy in the updated results. With a return loss of -24.39 dB, the suggested antenna can resonate at a frequency of 1.78 GHz. The fact that the simulated and measured results are consistent lends credence to the usefulness of the transceiver that has been presented for the application that has been proposed.
