摘要
A low-profile microstrip antenna with stable radiation pattern in a relatively wide band is presented for 5G operation. Four resonant modes with different frequencies are integrated in a single structure to enhance the bandwidth with stable gain, and well matched by introducing the folded walls. An impedance bandwidth of 58.3% has been achieved from 2.84 to 5.17 GHz with a compact structure of 0.84 lambda(0) x 0.68 lambda(0) x 0.06 lambda(0), where lambda(0) is the free-space wavelength at the center frequency of 4 GHz. The measurement results show that the proposed antenna is with the merits of average gain of 5 dBi, stable radiation patterns, low cross polarization, and low backlobes, exhibiting potentially use for the applications of 5G wireless communication systems.
