5G Microstrip Patch Antenna Design and Performance Improvement Methods

Abstract

There is a necessity for continuous, high-quality distance learning globally, particularly in emerging nations, which
necessitates elevated data rates and substantial bandwidth. In the study work, the researchers have developed a
Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA) for high-quality distance learning and various applications involving 5G utilizing
5G millimeter wave bands at a resonance frequency of 26 GHz. The proposed design features a circular patch with a
dielectric value 2.4 and a tangential dielectric loss of 0.0012. The design is modeled and evaluated utilizing FEKO
software. The simulation writers have identified a return loss of -31.5 dB, a bandwidth of 3.42 GHz, a VSWR of less
than 2, a high gain of 12 dB, and an antenna radiation effectiveness of 95.2%. This suggested layout offers advantages
under the current global lockdown circumstances.
