Abstract

Nowadays, 5G driven wireless technology is getting more attention due to its capability of ensuring high bandwidth, faster data transfer, low latency and system-on-chip (SoC) compactness. New and more effective antenna designs are necessary for these radio communication systems. This research paper presents a novel omnidirectional broadband microstrip antenna development for usage in point-to-point gateway terminals for the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and 5G Sub-6 GHz enabled cellular networks. The broadband antenna structure operates from 3 GHz to 4.3 GHz. The finite element method has been used in computer simulation microwave studio (CST-MWS) software to compute, simulate, and optimize the dimensions of the antenna and its operational settings. The antenna holds a compact dimension, measuring of 38 × 28 × 0.79 mm3. Rogers RT5880 material, which has a dielectric constant of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.79 mm, is chosen as the substrate for the antenna construction. The discussed antenna structure offers a low reflection coefficient of-37.76 dB at 3.70 GHz, a standard gain of 2.10-3.70 dB, a standard directivity of 2.70-3.90 GHz, a greater operating bandwidth of 1.30 GHz, an omnidirectional radiation pattern, and high energy efficient property.
