Optimization of Design Parameters of Microstrip Patch Antenna at 28 GHz and 38 GHz for 5G Applications

Abstract

This paper has found out optimized value of design parameters of microstrip patch antenna (MPA) at 28 GHz and 38 GHz for 5G applications. Three design parameters namely: substrate element, substrate height and feeding technique have significant effect on antenna performance. If these are not suitably elected, the 5G requirements won't be covered. This work has found out the optimized value of substrate element, substrate height and feeding technique as design parameters for designing MPA at 28 GHz and 38 GHz which fulfill the 5G requirements. In addition, a comparative observation of antenna performance is done among the antennas which are designed based on these three design parameter values. Foam as substrate element, substrate height 0.5 mm and quarter wave transformer feeding technique have been found as the best performance provider at 28 GHz and 38 GHz frequency bands as per 5G requirement. In conclusion, Single element Antenna is designed on 28 GHz and 38 GHz using aforementioned best performance provider design parameter values.
