Compact Wearable Antenna for Millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) Fifth Generation

Abstract

The need for networking, communication, and data sharing capabilities among users of wearable terminal devices has increased, and this has made the new wearable antenna one of the most active research areas.This work presents a wearable antenna for 5G applications based on a microstrip patch antenna operating at 28GHz millimeter-wave (mm-wave).The operating frequency of 28GHz is expected to be appropriate for 5G mm-wave wearable antenna design.The design is made of the semi-flexible Rogers Duroid RO3003 substrate, which has a thickness of 0.75mm, a loss tangent of 0.001 and a relative permittivity of 3. CST Microwave Studio software is used to analyze and evaluate the proposed antenna's performance to other existing designs in terms of return loss, bandwidth, gain, directivity, and point SAR value.
