High performance microstrip patch array antenna supporting 5G Applications
Project Area of Specialization Wearables and ImplantableProject SummaryThe inherently narrow impedance bandwidth is 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.
The goal of this research is simultaneous achieving high data rate using MIMO technique on a patch array antenna designed for 28GHz center frequency in 5g Communication band.
Project ObjectivesThe core objectives of the planned effort are:
- To design a novel stacked microstrip array antenna with fractal patches to achieve high data rate.
- To shrink overall size of the antenna.
- To improve gain of the designed antenna.
- To enhance the operating bandwidth.
- To fabricate the designed antenna and test the results
•Most of our work will be carried out by simulations and getting better results so we mostly likely will use simulation software for that.
•We will use CST known as Computer Simulation Technology software due to the fact that it is user friendly and the results are calculated much thoroughly and we get better result.
•After the simulation is done and the desired results are achieved we will fabricate the antenna.
Benefits of the ProjectThe convergence of wireless communications and mobile computing is bringing together two areas of immense growth and innovation.
The microstrip antenna has many advantages such as low profile, small size, light weight, and ease to integrate with other carriers.
Patch antennas have been used at 5G mmWave bands from 24 ghz up to 60+ GHz, usually as an a array for higher gain. While the design aid equation still holds, proper 3D Electromagnetic simulation is easily manufactured and fabricated at these frequencies.
