Design and simulation of a novel miniaturized printed antenna with ultra-wideband and high gain for millimeter-wave wireless applications

The goal of this work is to create a new patch antenna array with a standard gain, broadband, unidirectional radiation pattern, and high efficiency, making it a viable contender for millimeter-wave wireless applications. This study begins with a simple single-patch antenna that has four key components to provide effective matching and a wide impedance bandwidth: elliptical lateral edges, vertical stubs, slots expressed in concavity, and notches. The ground plane was defect-free, and the patch was printed on a Rogers RT5880 substrate. The performance of the proposed antenna can be improved using array topologies of 1×2 and 2×2 patches, for which a corporate feed network was built for excitation. The suggested 2×2 array antenna with a compact size of 18x16.1 mm2 achieved a gain of 13.8 dB, 92% efficiency, a return loss of-34.8 dB, and an ultra-wide bandwidth of 12.2 GHz (ranging from 39.9 to 52.1GHz) at a resonant frequency of 43.2. It's a novel compact 2×2 array antenna appropriate for miniature devices is suggested using CST studio software, which gathers all qualities together, including high-gain, radiation efficiency, and ultra-wideband. The planned antenna operating frequency range runs from 27 to 58 GHz, which encompasses multiple frequency bands, such as V, Q, and Ka
