Abstract

In this Article, the antenna is designed by using different shapes of patch structures on 8.468×9.741 mm² ground plane. Different shapes like A, H, F, T, and U are simulated by using HFSS Software. For gain enhancement, various techniques on the different shape patches have been applied. The maximum gain achieved in the case of A shape patch with MTM structure and circular reflector with superstates is 14.2 dBi, and the band covered is (36.248-38.764) GHz and (33.384-34.503) GHz. Other shapes like H, F, T, and U are designed by modification in A shape patch, and by applying various techniques like MTM and reflector surface with superstates interesting results have been achieved. The designed antenna is an mm-wave antenna and a novel structure for 5G communications.
