... to form an array. Initially, a 2X1 antenna array is designed. The separation between the individual antenna elements is taken to be 7.5 mm for the center of the excitation feed between the two antenna elements. The separation distance considered is the optimized value taken to obtain necessary radiation characteristics. The structure is shown in Fig. 5. The simulations performed, found S11 value to be -35.11 dB with a center frequency of 26.71 GHz. The VSWR, in this case, is 1.035. These are shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The gain for the 2X1 antenna array is simulated and calculated to be 9.695 dB for the frequency 26.71 GHz. From the plot shown in Fig. 8, it can be seen that the gain of ...

This paper presented the design and implementation of a 60 GHz single element monopole antenna as well as a two-element array made of two 60 GHz monopole antennas. The proposed antenna array was used for 5G applications with radiation characteristics that conformed to the requirements of wireless communication systems. The proposed single element was designed and optimized to work at 60 GHz with a bandwidth of 6.6 GHz (57.2–63.8 GHz) and a maximum gain of 11.6 dB. The design was optimized by double T-shaped structures that were added in the rectangular slots, as well as two external stubs in order to achieve a highly directed radiation pattern. Moreover, ring and circular slots were made in the partial ground plane at an optimized distance as a defected ground structure (DGS) to improve the impedance bandwidth in the desired band. The two-element array was fed by a feed network, thus improving both the impedance bandwidth and gain. The single element and array were fabricated, and the measured and simulated results mimicked each other in both return loss and antenna gain.

ABSTRACT In this paper, a two-element Pharaonic Ankh-Key array antenna is proposed. The array antenna is designed, simulated and fabricated to enhance the new technologies upcoming in the market. The multiband array antenna can operate in 24 GHz band, 28 GHz band, 37 GHz band, 39 GHz band, 47 GHz band, E-band, W-band, and D-band with peak gain between 7.8 dBi to 12.3 dBi along the resonating spectrum. The array antenna is a single layer two-element antenna separately fed by 50Ω microstrip line with dimensions 18.7 mm x 18.5 mm and a height of 0.787mm Rogers/Duroid RT 5880 of 𝜀𝑟 = 2.2 and tanδ = 0.0009 which was easily fabricated with a very low cost comparing to the existing antennas in the market making it a very promising candidate for 5G and beyond technologies MIMO applications as it operates in almost all band between 23 GHz and 140 GHz. The antenna is designed and simulated using CST Suite, Ansys HFSS, and IE3D Mentor Graphics simulators then the simulated results where compared to the measured results achieving a very good agreement.

The millimetre-wave band offers a large bandwidth and hence can be considered for the high-speed communication in 5G networks. The microstrip patch antennas are highly recommended for 5G wireless application because their inexpensive fabrication, less weight and without any difficulty operated at microwave frequencies. In this survey, a comparative analysis of different configuration of microstrip patch antennas is discussed for both the single-element antenna and an array element. The parameters considered for the analysis of the patch antenna are the return loss, bandwidth, gain, VSWR, etc. This paper highlights an overall research development in millimeter-wave antenna design along with some of the practical considerations such as slotted patches, parasitic patches, split ring resonators, etc., are discussed. Research in the antenna systems is very wide and extensive. The different types encountered for the comparison shall be massive MIMO, beam forming, broad banding, dual and multi-band configurations, reconfigurable type, reduced structure design, linear and circular polarized antennas and so on.
