Abstract

5G is a very fast-growing technology with no limitation in real-time application. Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) band is a perfect choice to accomplish the bandwidth requirements and throughput for future 5G mobile applications. The frequency band deliberated are 28, 38, 60, and 73 GHz in 5G bands. A Super compact planar antenna for future 5G mobile communication is proposed which operates at 28 GHz. The prototype uses FR-4 substrate which has a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a loss tangent of 0.02. The antenna has a compact size of 10.87 × 12.364 mm2 with a dielectric height of 1. 6 mm. The dimensions have been calculated using design equations and it is designed in HFSS 15.0 software. The patch is loaded with a U-shaped slot attached with the stub while the Ground of the antenna is not disturbed. Implementation of full ground is the perk of this project. The antenna resonates at 28 GHz, ranging between 26.32 to 30.26 GHz. The impedance bandwidth is obtained to be 3.94 GHz. The antenna parameters such as Return loss, Gain, Efficiency, and VSWR are measured and observed to be good. The antenna exhibits a very good return loss for 28 GHz at –32 dB and VSWR less than 2. The design complexity of proposed antenna is low since it consists of single layer. Generally defective ground structures are used to enhance the bandwidth and gain but without affecting ground structure the same can be achieved in the proposed design.
