Abstract
Connectivity has always been an important factor in the evolution of mankind. Since ages, it has shaped human history and now the future is about to be visualized. The urge for perfection and speed has lead to the birth of generations of wireless communications. Every upgrade in the generation of communication speeds up the electronic industry by a few decades. Within a few years of its launch, 4G has now become primeval. Further, the need for the fifth generation of communication network is intensively being realized. In this paper, we design and simulate a microstrip patch antenna compatible with 5G communications. The antenna works in Extremely High Frequency (EHF) range at 43.7GHz. A substrate material of Fire Resistant 4 (FR4) epoxy with relative permittivity of 4.4 has been used. Further, the antenna has been analyzed for its return loss, VSWR, gain, radiation pattern and current distribution. The obtained results are verified to suit the requirements and are discussed for various applications.
