CPW-Fed Microstrip Patch Antenna for Millimeter Wave Applications
The antenna elements have been consuming more power and inoperative area with high operational frequency. Therefore, an advanced antenna element design is necessary to cross over the above faults. In this research work, the CPW-Fed microstrip patch antenna is designed using EHF range for millimeter-wave applications. CPW-fed and combinations of DGS-CPW-fed microstrip patch antennas are novel methods, these designs are enhancing many characteristics of microwave circuits, such as narrow bandwidth, cross-polarization, low gain, etc. The researchers are facing many issues in this research area, therefore Fed-CPW design has been taken as a challenging issue. Investigators are working on wideband antennas, as well as patch antennas that can be used for both single- and dual-band applications. In addition to multiband applications, DGS, CPW-Fed Slot antennas are loaded with filters, these enhancements are providing waveguides and amplification tuning.
The proposed research deals with a CPW-Fed Microstrip Patch satellite antenna, which is specially modeled to operate at various high-frequency values as well as Extremely High Frequency (EHF) range. A T-Shaped Microstrip patch antenna, which is dimensioned at 11.4x2.5x1.6 mm3 has been placed on Rogers R04003 substrate. The proposed antenna has CPW-Fed with ground dimensions which are considered as 5.9mm*8mm & feed dimensions as 3.8mm*9mm. Due to CPW-feed, the proposed antenna has achieved huge bandwidth i.e 13GHz. Hence the proposed antenna design is compact and suitable at higher frequencies. Simulation results approve that it is a good antenna model. The performance measures like return loss, gain, and VSWR has been improved compared to earlier models. Moreover, this CPW-fed microstrip patch antenna approach is most useful for 5G applications and simulation results are outperforms with designed frameworks.
The proposed antenna resonates from 24GHz to 37.6GHz, with good impedance matching at |S11|<=-10dB. The obtained VSWR is in the range of 1 and 2. The gain at resonant frequencies is ranged from 4 to 6 dB. The proposed antenna is useful to deploy in 5G applications as it is resonating in millimeter-wave frequencies.
The following model is very useful for 5G applications and provides resonant frequencies 4 to 6 dB. The impedance matching is also improved by 15% compared to earlier models. The following experiment is designed on the HFSS software tool and CPW-Fed functionality is verified

A comprehensive survey on 'circular polarized antennas' for existing and emerging wireless communication technologies
Circular polarized (CP) antennas are well suited for long-distance transmission attainment. In order to be adaptable for beyond 5G communication, a detailed and systematic investigation of their important conventional features is required for expected enhancements. The existing designs employing millimeter wave, microwave, and ultra-wideband (UWB) frequencies form the elementary platform for future studies. The 3.4-3.8 GHz frequency band has been identified as a worthy candidate for 5G communications because of spectrum availability. This band comes under UWB frequencies (3.1-10.6 GHz). In this survey, a review of CP antennas in the selected areas to improve the understanding of early-stage researchers specially experienced antenna designers has presented for the first time as best of our knowledge. Design implementations involving size, axial ratio, efficiency, and gain improvements are covered in detail. Besides that, various design approaches to realize CP antennas including (a) printed CP antennas based on parasitic or slotted elements, (b) dielectric resonator CP antennas, (c) reconfigurable CP antennas, (d) substrate integrated waveguide CP antennas, (e) fractal CP antennas, (f) hybrid techniques CP antennas, and (g) 3D printing CP antennas with single and multiple feeding structures have investigated and analyzed. The aim of this work is to provide necessary guidance for the selection of CP antenna geometries in terms of the required dimensions, available bandwidth, gain, and useful materials for the integration and realization in future communication systems
Antenna Designs for 5G/IoT and Space Applications
This book is intended to shed some light on recent advances in antenna design for these new emerging applications and identify further research areas in this exciting field of communications technologies. Considering the specificity of the operational environment, e.g., huge distance, moving support (satellite), huge temperature drift, small dimension with respect to the distance, etc, antennas, are the fundamental device allowing to maintain a constant interoperability between ground station and satellite, or different satellites. High gain, stable (in temperature, and time) performances, long lifecycle are some of the requirements that necessitates special attention with respect to standard designs. The chapters of this book discuss various aspects of the above-mentioned list presenting the view of the authors. Some of the contributors are working strictly in the field (space), so they have a very targeted view on the subjects, while others with a more academic background, proposes futuristic solutions. We hope that interested reader, will find a fertile source of information, that combined with their interest/background will allow efficiently exploiting the combination of these two perspectives
Wideband and UWB antennas for wireless applications. A comprehensive review
A comprehensive review concerning the geometry, the manufacturing technologies, the materials, and the numerical techniques, adopted for the analysis and design of wideband and ultrawideband (UWB) antennas for wireless applications, is presented. Planar, printed, dielectric, and wearable antennas, achievable on laminate (rigid and flexible), and textile dielectric substrates are taken into account. The performances of small, low-profile, and dielectric resonator antennas are illustrated paying particular attention to the application areas concerning portable devices (mobile phones, tablets, glasses, laptops, wearable computers, etc.) and radio base stations. This information provides a guidance to the selection of the different antenna geometries in terms of bandwidth, gain, field polarization, time-domain response, dimensions, and materials useful for their realization and integration in modern communication systems
Design of a compact wideband bi-directional pattern antenna for 5G applications
In this research, a wideband bi-directional pattern antenna implemented by a circular monopole encircled with an enforced-radiation circular ring incorporated with inversed L-shaped stub is designed to operate over the mid-band of 5G applications ranging from 2 to 6 GHz. It is contrived of a copper overlaid on FR4 substrate with relative permittivity of 4.3 and height of 1.6 mm. This proposed antenna is fed by a 50-ohm coplanar waveguide, which is printed on the same side of the radiated circular monopole. To further enrich the impedance matching, a pair of etched slots is added-on the ground plane near the fed line to reduce the return loss. In the study, the initial parameters are theoretically worked out, and then simulation is then performed by using an electromagnetic solutions tool to numerically discover the set of solution parameters. From the simulation results, this proposed antenna offers the |S11|<–10 dB covered the operating frequency running from 1.79 to over 8 GHz with fractional bandwidth 126.90 % and 1.74 to 7.07 GHz with fractional bandwidth 101.04 % for the simulation excluded and included SMA, respectively. It provides a linear polarization with total efficiency better than 81.5 %. After that, an antenna prototype with compact dimensions of 45×45×0.6 mm3 was fabricated and testified to validate the simulation results. The measurement results provide a stability bi-directional pattern with peak gain of 5.54 dBi covering a 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 118.5 % (1.93–7.54 GHz). Simulated |S11|, 2D radiation pattern and gain are reasonably in good agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, this proposed antenna is compared with the current compact, wideband and 5G antenna to indicate its prospective for the interested band
UWB Technology
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology has attracted increasing interest and there is a growing demand for UWB for several applications and scenarios. The unlicensed use of the UWB spectrum has been regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) since the early 2000s. The main concern in designing UWB circuits is to consider the assigned bandwidth and the low power permitted for transmission. This makes UWB circuit design a challenging mission in today's community. Various circuit designs and system implementations are published in this book to give the reader a glimpse of the state-of-the-art examples in this field. The book starts at the circuit level design of major UWB elements such as filters, antennas, and amplifiers; and ends with the complete system implementation using such modules

Recent developments of reconfigurable antennas for 4G and 5G wireless communications: A survey
YesReconfigurable antennas play important roles in smart and
adaptive systems and are the subject of many research studies. They
offer several advantages such as multifunctional capabilities, minimized volume requirements, low front-end processing efforts with
no need for a filtering element, good isolation, and sufficient out-ofband rejection; these make them well suited for use in wireless applications such as fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G)
mobile terminals. With the use of active materials such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), varactor or p-i-n (PIN) diodes, an
antenna’s characteristics can be changed through altering the current
flow on the antenna structure. If an antenna is to be reconfigurable
into many different states, it needs to have an adequate number of
active elements. However, a large number of high-quality active elements increases cost, and necessitates complex biasing networks and
control circuitry.
We review some recently proposed reconfigurable antenna designs suitable for use in wireless communications such as cognitiveratio (CR), multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), ultra-wideband
(UWB), and 4G/5G mobile terminals. Several examples of antennas
with different reconfigurability functions are analyzed and their performances are compared. Characteristics and fundamental properties
of reconfigurable antennas with single and multiple reconfigurability
modes are investigated.European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement H2020-MSCA-ITN-2016 SECRET-722424
Electronically reconfigurable and conformal triband antenna for wireless communications systems and portable devices
This paper presents the design of a triband antenna that can be electronically configured to operate at different frequencies. The proposed antenna is design to operate at sub-6GHz bands at 2.45 GHz (ISM, Wi-Fi, and WLAN), 3.3, 3.5 - 3.9 GHz (WiMAX), and 4.1 - 4.9 GHz (4G - 5G). This is achieved by connecting two open-ended stubs to a modified triangular patch radiator using PIN diodes. The antenna's performance was optimized using a 3D electromagnetic solver and its performance was verified through measurements. Moreover, the conformal analysis done on the antenna shows that the proposed technique can be used in moderately flexible wireless devices without compromising the antenna's gain, radiation efficiency and radiation patterns. These characteristics makes the proposed antenna applicable for various wireless communication systems and devices.Funding: Funder1: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Award Number: 801538 Grant Recipient:
