UWB transparent patch antenna for 5G millimeter - Wave applications

Nowadays, several countries have adopted the 5G mm-wave frequency standards such as, China (24.3–27.5GHz, 37–43.5GHz), Japan (27.5–28.8GHz), Sweden (26.5-27.5GHz), Europe (24.25-27.5GHz), the USA (27.5–28.35 GHz and 37–43.5 GHz), and Korea (28GHz) In this contribution, an optically transparent patch antenna with Ultra-wideband characteristics is designed and simulated using HFSS software. Glass serves as the substrate for the proposed antenna while the partial ground plane and the patch element are constructed by using AGH-8 conductor. The patch element is composed of rectangles and two similar circles as to exhibit the UWB characteristics. This proposed antenna is operating from 23.41–45.95 GHz reaching approximately 22.49 GHz of band and has six resonant frequencies 25.7 GHz, 28.24GHz,34.65, 38.64 and 41. 6GHz; this transparent antenna demonstrates a gain of approximately 5 dB for the six operating frequencies.
