High Performance Compact-Size mmWave Microstrip Patch Array Antenna Supporting 5G Communication
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryThe inherently narrow impedance bandwidth, Low Gain, and lesser radiation efficiency are the major weakness of a microstrip antenna. To tackle the narrow bandwidth problem of microstrip antennas, various techniques have been proposed and developed, e.g., parasitic patch either in stacked or coplanar geometries, U-slot patch, L-probe coupling, aperture coupling and increasing the thickness of the antenna, etc.
The goal of this research is simultaneously achieving a Higher Data Rate, High Antenna Gain, Wide Bandwidth, and more than 95% Radiation Efficiency using different techniques on microstrip patch array antenna designed for the center frequency of 28GHz in 5G Communication band.
The core objectives of the planned effort are:
- To design, fabricate and test a novel compact-sized millimeter-Wave microstrip patch array antenna that will include the effects of stacking, array configuration, and employing slots in the geometry of the antenna to achieve high antenna gain, bandwidth and efficiency.
- The antenna will be designed to support the 5G Communication.
- To enhance the operating bandwidth.
- To improve the gain of the designed antenna.
- To shrink the overall size of the antenna.
- To fabricate the designed antenna and test the results.
- To publish a research paper in HEC recognized Journal.
The Project Implementation Method is as follows:
- Most of our work will be carried out by simulations in Computer Simulation Technology.
- Once better results are obtained we will fabricate the antenna to test the simulated results.
- After that publication will be done in HEC recognized Journal.
The convergence of wireless communications and mobile computing is bringing together two areas of immense growth and innovation. In addition, the millimeter-wave band has attracted a lot of attention due to the progress of 5G technology.
- The project consists of a microstrip antenna which has many advantages such as low profile, small size, light-weight, and easy to integrate along with simple or inexpensive manufacturing procedures.
- Because the microstrip antenna is light, compact and integrated into the module circuit, it will essentially support the terminal devices of 5G wireless communication systems.
The final deliverable will be the proposed design of microstrip patch array antenna that will possess encouraging performances of wider bandwidth, higher gain, stable radiation and higher efficiency.
