Design and development of miniaturized antennas for 5G wireless application

Abstract

The consumption of data in wireless communication has been increasing rapidly in recent years. To meet different broadband requirements, for future applications, 5G is a critical wireless communication platform. It will enhance and establish infrastructure for future communication. The term 5G was coined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to designate a quotfifth-generation mobile communications system.quot It refers to a wide range of networks, technologies, and applications. Through the International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT-2020) project, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a standards organization, is encouraging 5G adoption. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) are two other standardization bodies working on 5G standards. The standardization process was completed in Late 2019 by these standardization bodies. An antenna is one of the most important requirements of these systems due to the nature of wireless communication. The features required for antennas vary depending on the type of application. The method to choose the resonance frequency is completely based on the application and the allocated frequency band by authorized body. As a result of this requirement in modern wireless technologies, this thesis introduces the necessity for compact broadband/multiband planar antennas with reconfigurability. So, a design, simulation and experimental analysis of fabricated planar antenna having different structures and features are demonstrated in this research work. A microstrip patch antenna is one of the viable systems to attain all these 5G requirements. A detailed study on these antennas was done in the first section of this thesis. newline newline newline
