Metamaterial-Filled Elliptical Patch Antenna Designed for the 5G Communications in China Covering 3.3-3.6GHz

This work presents a compact meta material-filled elliptical patch antenna (MEPA) for the 5G communications in China covering 3.3-3.6GHz. A prominent feature for the MEPA is that the patch area is kept very small as of
$0.069\lambda_{0}^{2}$
whilst the operating bandwidth is relatively wide from 3.29 to 3.61GHz (9.3%). Detailed electric performances are further studied with the full-wave simulations to show its adventurous potentials in the 5G communication applications.
