Abstract
In this article, the design and performance of a novel rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) utilizing the dielectric substrate material FR4 of relative permittivity (Ԑr = 4.3) and thickness (h = 0.254 mm) is proposed to operate at (fr = 28 GHz). Three different feeding techniques (microstrip inset line, coaxial probe, and proximity coupled line) are investigated to improve the antenna radiation performance especially the antenna gain and bandwidth using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) and High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). The simulated frequency responses generally reveal that the proximity-coupled fed provides extremely directive pattern and maintain higher radiation performance regardless of its antenna size which is larger than the other considered feeding ones. With the presence of the three feeding techniques, the gain is improved from 5.50 dB to 6.83 dB additionally, the antenna bandwidth is improved from 0.6 GHz to 3.60 GHz at fr = 28 GHz when the reflection coefficient S11= -10 dB. Compared to the previously designed RMPA, the proposed design has the advantages of reliable size, larger bandwidth and higher gain, which make it more suitable for many 5G application systems.
