Dual-Band Hexagonal Microstrip Patch Antenna For 5g Applications

Abstract

The field of microstrip antenna has seen creative work lately. A smaller size performance antenna is required for applications with a wider frequency range, such as Bluetooth, WiFi, wireless networks, etc. due to the everincreasing need for mobile communication and the emergence of new technologies. Here in this paper, a compact hexagonal-shaped microstrip antenna fed by a microstrip line for dual-band operations with center frequencies at 25 GHz and 38 GHz is proposed and investigated. The proposed antenna operates in two different frequency bands from 24.1 to 26.3 GHz with a center frequency of 25 GHz and from 37.3 to 39.4

GHz with a center frequency of 38 GHz, 9.3 dB as Gain, 9.17 dB as Directivity and respectively 1.16 dB and 1.39 dB as VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio). The proposed antenna was simulated using Roger RT/ Duroid 5880 material for the substrate and its efficiency is 98.6% suitable for 5G applications. The software that has been used for this work is HFSS 15 (HighFrequency Simulation Structure).
