Design of T-Slot Microstrip Patch Antenna for Millimeter-Wave Applications

A planar microstrip patch antenna that works with 5G wireless and millimeter wave communication has been developed. The antenna has been developed by putting multiple slots to enhance its performance and is simulated using the computer simulation technology software, and its radiation parameters have been examined using a computer-simulated technology simulator. Measurements of return loss, radiation pattern, and polar plot gain are among the outcomes of the simulation that have been reported. Due to its capability to function at a millimeter wave frequency of 54GHz in compliance with IEEE 802.11ad regulations, this antenna is ideally suited for 5G wireless communication. The antenna's gain at 54 GHz is 6.419 dB, and its voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is almost 1. The antenna is promising for usage in high-speed and other millimeter wave applications, as evidenced by the minimal return loss of −20.76 dB that has been recorded.

I. Introduction

Wireless communication technologies have significantly impacted the way people communicate and live their lives. The fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication system aims to offer faster data rates, lower latency, and better connectivity than its previous generations[1]. However, to make 5G wireless communication possible, it is necessary to design and develop suitable antennas that can transmit and receive signals efficiently.
