Project Title

A Compact Milli-meter Wave Antenna for 5G Broadband Applications

Project Area of Specialization Information & Communication TechnologyProject Summary

Nowadays, the tremendous development of the next millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) fth-generation (5G) communication technology and antennas have been highly demanded due to meet the call for low latency, higher data rate, low cost, less usage of energy and supported transfer information for a considerable number of subscribers devices that deal with various applications beyond mobile communications and cellular industry.

Therefore, the spectrum available under millimetre-wave (mm-wave) band is a perfect choice to accomplish the bandwidth requirements and throughput for future 5G mobile applications. However, this advantageous spectrum has few critical limitations such as path loss attenuations, atmospheric absorptions and signal fading. In order to achieve enhanced performance through multi-path fading channels, the above-mentioned losses are needed to be resolved  In this project, a design of compact parasitic element loaded radiating system and modified corporate feed array configuration are proposed for 5G mm-wave (Ka-band) applications. The proposed antenna impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics will be enhanced by employing various bandwidth enhancement mechanisms.The antenna will exhibits good voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and acceptable gain, The proposed radiator has super wideband bandwidth and it can be a feasible efficient solution for future 5G mobile base station applications.
