Abstract:

Since the antenna is the most critical component in wireless communications, as it is used to send and receive electromagnetic waves, therefore its design process must be compatible with the application in which it is used. Because of the high demand for data transfer and the use of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) to solve this problem, the antenna must be small since these waves have high frequencies. The best type for this purpose is Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPAs). This work proposes an MPA with a single band and modified ground for 5G communications. The small antenna with an inset feed line and modified ground plane gives a single band at 47.2 GHz with a wide bandwidth of about 2.8 GHz and a return loss of about -24.71 dB with a gain of 4.7 dB. HFSS software is utilized for both the simulation and antenna design. The simulation’s findings indicate that the antenna is appropriate for 5G applications.
