摘要

This paper presents the design, simulation, fabrication and experimental validation of a multilayer patch antenna based on microstrip technology, oriented to 5G communications applications in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band. The structure is composed of five layers using copper, FR4 and polyethylene foam materials. Electromagnetic simulations using ANSYS HFSS were performed to evaluate gain, directivity and impedance matching. Finally, the antenna was fabricated and measured in an anechoic chamber provided by ARCOTEL. A Mini-Circuits CY2-44+ frequency multiplier enabled measurements up to 28GHz. The obtained performance validates the design for potential integration in 5G mmWave systems.
