Abstract

In this paper, a diamond-shaped broadband high-gain microstrip patch antenna based on a folded floor structure is proposed. The overall dimensions of the antenna are 108 mm × 100 mm × 25 mm. Additionally, it contains a radiating microstrip patch, a folded ground plane, and a capacitive feed strip. The broadening of the antenna's operating band is achieved by enhancing the microstrip radiating patch and the capacitive feed band. The original rectangular structure was transformed into a rhombic structure, enabling the radiating patch to absorb the current more effectively and achieve a better impedance match for the antenna operating around 5 GHz. The radiation performance of the antenna is maximized by utilizing the folded floor structure. Measured results show that the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is about 61.5% (2.84 GHz-5.36 GHz), covering 5G dual bands. Meanwhile, the peak gain reaches 12.6 dBi, and the average gain reaches 10.7 dBi.
