Abstract

This chapter presents a unique microstrip patch antenna array with a COVID-19 shapes designed for both centimeter wave (sub-6 GHz) and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies for 5G applications. Firstly, a linear-polarized 2 × 4 antenna array that resonates at 3.16 GHz and has a gain of 10.5 dB is discussed. Secondly, a 2 × 2 mm-wave ultra-wideband (UWB) linear-polarized array operating over the range (22 - 40) GHz with a maximum gain of 9.3 dB is shown. The produced patch antenna is simulated and optimized by performing parametric studies of the dimensions using the finite element method (FEM) HFSS software program, where the array elements have a circular shape surrounded by 5 pairs of crowns. The aforementioned microstrip antenna array for the sub-6 GHz is fabricated on a double-sided copper plate with an FR4-epoxy substrate of 1.6 mm thickness. The printed prototype measured parameters, including S-parameters, polarization, and radiation patterns show a good agreement with simulated results.
