Miniaturization of patch antenna with bandwidth and gain enhancement using coplanar parasitic, reactive impedance, and partially reflecting surfaces for sub-6GHz 5G applications
摘要
The proposed work addresses the challenge of achieving a wide bandwidth and high gain with patch-size miniaturization for wireless applications. The design includes coplanar parasitic patches (CPP), a partially reflection surface (PRS) as superstrate, and a reactive impedance surface (RIS)-based ground plane. Initially, a wide impedance bandwidth is achieved by placing CPP around the patch antenna. The geometry of the CPP is chosen as a square which makes less sensitive to the polarization of the incident wave. Further, the ground plane is replaced with a array of square RIS to reduce antenna size and suppress coupling with the substrate also it helps to balance the design flexibility. To further enhance antenna gain in the wide impedance bandwidth range, the ring slot loaded array of PRS is introduced. It helps achieve consistent reflection or transmission phase and amplitude for both TE and TM waves. The simulation and measurement results match well for the proposed antenna. The overall physical size of the antenna is 70
