Abstract

This article introduces a miniaturized antenna for 5G-II band millimetre-wave communication. The antenna’s performance is meticulously examined through comprehensive simulations carried out using CST Microwave Studio, employing an FR-4 substrate with dimensions measuring 10 × 12 × 1.5 mm3. The proposed design exhibits exceptional qualities, featuring an impressive impedance bandwidth of 166%. The operational frequency range of this antenna extends from 9.1 to 100 GHz, featuring a central frequency of 45.45 GHz, positioning it effectively within the 5G-II Band. The antenna consistently maintains polar patterns throughout this spectrum, which guarantees dependable and efficient performance. It showcases a substantial gain of 5.85 dBi and an impressive efficiency rating of 89.2%. Renowned for its versatility, this antenna is well suited for a diverse range of applications in microwaves, including but not limited to Ku-Band, K-band, Ka-Band, and various other purposes.
