A High Gain Compact Size Printed Antenna for 5G Applications

Abstract

The continued use of wireless multimedia content is driving up data traffic consumption in wireless networks. Fifth generation (5G) networks, which employ millimeter wave (mm-Wave) frequencies to provide mobile devices with unprecedented capacity and several gigabits per second (Gbps) of data transmission, are being rolled out by telecommunications firms. The goal of this is to satisfy the consumer's increasing need for data. With speeds of up to 10 Gbps, fifth generation (5G) is anticipated to be up to ten times faster than fourth generation (4G). This results in a wide impedance bandwidth with regard to antennas. The 5G communications system must have low latency, large bandwidth with enhanced dependability, and high gain to minimize propagation losses. In this thesis, proposed a solution to design a wideband printed Log Periodic Dipole Array antenna using Rogers’s substrate. The antenna’s slot topology ensures a relatively wide impedance bandwidth and helps to improve efficiency of the antennas. The proposed antennas have -10 dB impedance bandwidth from 20.5-39.8 GHz, as well as good radiation efficiency. According to simulated and measured results the gain of antennas is around 10 dBi with directional radiation pattern. The antenna is a strong contender for the usage in mm-wave communication as they satisfy the essential criteria for the 5G wireless communication.
