Abstract
A new shape of microstrip antenna is proposed that operates in the 5G Sub band with size <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{(}\mathbf{26}\times \mathbf{30}\times \mathbf{1-6}\mathbf{)}\mathbf{mm}^{\mathbf{3}}$</tex> ‘ and the effect of changing the suberate on the performance of the antenna was Investigated; the antenna is Installed using the Roger 8850 Substrata with relative dielectric Constant <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\in_{\mathrm{r}}=\mathbf{2,2}$</tex> and loss tangent <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\boldsymbol{tan}\ \boldsymbol{\partial}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{0.009}$</tex> The Effect of Changing the Substrate <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\mathbf{t}_{\mathbf{0}}\mathbf{(}\boldsymbol{\in}_{\mathbf{r}}=\mathbf{4.3},\ \boldsymbol{\in}_{\mathbf{r}}=\mathbf{6,15}\mathbf{)}$</tex> is studied, it is found that these substrates affect the return loss (S11), gain, and group delay. It is found that <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\boldsymbol{\in}_{\mathbf{r}}=\mathbf{2,2}$</tex> provides better return loss and group delay, whereas the Substrate with <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\in \mathbf{r}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{6,15}$</tex> gives better gain; therefore, the Substrate selection depends on the required performance factor. The antennas were fabricated using Rogers Substrata with a relative dielectric constant of <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$\in_{\mathbf{r}}=\mathbf{2,2}$</tex> and tested using the Vector Network Analyzer; it was found that the Simulation and experimental results are in reasonable agreement.
