Dual Band Monopole Antenna for 5G Communication
摘要
A square ring-shaped patch antenna with a partial ground plane has been designed, measuring 35.3 × 35.4 × 1.6 mm3 (equivalent to 0.3λ × 0.3λ × 0.013λ). The antenna is fabricated using FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant (εr) of 4.4. It supports dual-band operation: the first band ranges from 2.4 to 2.9 GHz with a centre frequency of 2.6 GHz, while the second band spans from 6.0 to 6.9 GHz, centred at 6.4 GHz. The antenna exhibits fractional bandwidths of 19.2% and 14% for the respective bands. Peak gains of 3 dBi at 2.6 GHz and 4.5 dBi at 6.2 GHz were observed, along with an average radiation efficiency of 92%. Both frequency bands are suitable for 5G communication. The antenna was designed using HFSS 19 software and subsequently fabricated and tested, with measured results showing a close correlation to simulated data.
