Abstract

This article presents a Lumped Mirror Array mm-Wave Antenna designed for 5G second band, satellite, and defence Microwave applications. The performance of the Array Antenna has been rigorously validated through extensive simulations conducted using CST Microwave Studio, employing a 160 × 70 × 1.5 mm³ FR-4 substrate. The proposed design incorporates unique features, showcasing an impressive impedance bandwidth of 70.4% and a notable return loss of -35 dBi. Operating within a frequency range of 4.7 to 67.63 GHz, this antenna consistently maintains its polarization patterns across the entire spectrum, ensuring reliable and efficient operation. With a remarkable gain of 3.85 dBi and an efficiency rating of 82.9%, the Array Antenna stands out for its adaptability, making it suitable for diverse applications such as C-band, X-band, Ku-band, K-band, Ka-band, and various other microwave applications.
