Abstract

Objectives: This study introduces a dual-band rectangular microstrip patch antenna with a slot-loaded, specifically designed for 5G and WLAN/WiMAX applications. Method: The antenna is mounted on a substrate material of Rogers AD255C material having εr of 2.55 and a thickness of 1.56 mm. Three slots are etched on the conventional rectangular microstrip patch antenna. A 50-ohm microstrip line powers the antenna. The antenna that has been suggested is created and simulated using CST Studio Suite 2020. Findings: Based on numerical simulation, the proposed antenna functions at 3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz, suitable for 5G and WLAN/WiMAX wireless technologies. The antenna offers measured return loss (S11) of -22.10 dB and -22.9 dB and a Gain of 4.43 dBi and 4.62 dBi at 3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The radiation patterns are linear and broadside. Novelty: This article aims to create a smaller planer dual-band antenna that integrates WLAN/WiMAX and 5G communication standards into a single device.

Keywords: Dual-band, 5G, WLAN, WiMAX, Microstrip patch antenna
