In this study, we designed a single antenna taking into account the performance, such as return loss and radiation pattern, of 28 GHz and 38 GHz array antennas for 5G mobile devices. In millimeter wave band communication, high path loss occurs between transmission and reception, unlike in conventional microwave bands. In the design of array antennas for 5G millimeter wave terminals, antenna performance such as antenna gain, bandwidth, isolation between antenna elements, side-lobe level(SLL), etc. should be further considered. The performance of the designed array antennas was analyzed by spacing the antenna elements at half a wavelength. Our results proved the validity of the design and its suitability for applications in mm-Wave by showing that the 28 GHz and 39 GHz array antennas had antenna gains of 13.5 dBi and 11.3 dBi and return losses below -18.4 dB and -20 dB, correspondingly.

In this paper, the relay antenna was designed in consideration of the performance of the 28GHz band 5G mobile communication relay horn antenna, such as radiation pattern and return loss. A horn array for 5G mobile communication repeater was designed by arranging the antenna elements in phase, and the performance was analyzed. Unlike conventional WCDMA (3G) and LTE (4G), in millimeter wave band communication, high path loss occurs between transmission and reception. In the design of a 5G millimeter wave horn antenna, antenna performance such as isolation and gain between antenna elements as well as gain and bandwidth of the antenna must be additionally considered. The antenna gain of the single horn antenna (1×1) and the array horn antenna (2×4) in the 28GHz band is about 10.44d Bi and 19.58dBi, respectively, and the return loss is designed to be less than -18dB. It has proven its validity and has been shown to be suitable for application to 5G mobile communication relay system.

This paper describes a planar microstrip patch antenna designed on dielectric substrate. Two types of planar microstrip patch antennas are studied for the 5G wireless applications, one type is conventional microstrip structure, the other type is stacked microstrip structure fed by coaxial probe. Using electromagnetically coupling method, stacked microstrip patch antenna employing a multi-layer substrate structure was designed. The results indicate that the proposed stacked microstrip patch antenna performs well at 5G wireless service bandwith a broadband from 3.42GHz to 3.70GHz. The impedance bandwidth(VSWR≤2) is 360MHz(10.28%) from 3.42GHz to 3.78GHz. In this paper, through the designing of a stacked microstrip patch antenna, we have presented the availability for 5G wireless repeater system.

In this paper, a broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna operating at 10.525 GHz band was proposed. The proposed broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna consists of three narrow rectangular patches. At the center of the center patch, two symmetrical side patches were connected by a strip conductor and were arranged with their centers shifted in a perpendicular direction with respect to the center patch. For performance comparison, a conventional inset-fed square microstrip patch antenna was designed. Experiment results show that the frequency band of the measured input reflection coefficient with a voltage standing wave ratio less than 2 for the broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna was 10.036-11.051 GHz (9.63%), whereas that for the conventional inset-fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna was 10.306-10.772 GHz (4.42%). Therefore, the input reflection coefficient frequency bandwidth of the fabricated broadband inset-fed microstrip patch antenna was increased by 2.18 times, compared to the conventional inset-fed square microstrip patch antenna.

In this paper, three types of array antennas for 5G mobile devices operating at 28 GHz were designed, and their performances were compared. The isolation between antenna elements was compared based on $S_{21}$. The $S_{21}$ of dipole, slot, and patch type are -13.76 dB, -16.88 dB, and -11.47 dB, respectively, with the slot-type antenna having the highest isolation. In order to compare the beam coverage performance, several characteristics such as beam width and maximum beam steering angle were analyzed. The analysis shows that the slot type has the widest steering angle of $63^{\circ}$ while the patch type has narrowest with $36^{\circ}$. In addition, to verify the performance of the antennas in the actual usage environment of the device, antenna characteristics in talk mode and data mode were analyzed through simulation. The results confirmed that the slot-type array antenna is the most suitable array antenna element for 28 GHz 5G mobile devices.

In order to reduce the size of the previous stepped slot antenna for UWB applications(3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz) to half, an open ended stepped slot antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a stepped slot etched on the ground plane as radiation part and a microstrip feed-line with rectangular patch on the top plane for wideband impedance matching. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on the FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm and size of $28.5{\times}32mm^2$. The measured impedance bandwidth (${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}{\leq}-10dB$) of the fabricated antenna is 7.99 GHz(3.01~11 GHz) which is sufficient to cover UWB band (3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz). In particular, it has been observed that antenna has a good omnidirectional radiation patterns and high gain over the entire frequency band of interest even though the size of the proposed antenna is reduced to half when compared with the previous antenna.

In this paper, a dual-band T-shaped microstrip monopole antenna with a pair of slits for 2.4/5.2/5.8-GHz wireless local area networks (WLANs) is proposed. A pair of T-shaped slits is loaded on a T-shaped monopole antenna fed by microstrip line in order to obtain dual-band operation as well as to reduce the antenna size. It is demonstrated from experimental results that the proposed antenna can cover all the required bands for WLAN. The measured impedance bandwidth for VSWR<2 is about 5.7% (2.37-2.51GHz) in the lower frequency band and about 28.8% (4.76-6.35GHz) in the higher frequency band. The measured peak gains are about 1.33 dBi to 1.66 dBi in the 2.4GHz band, 3.50 dBi to 3.95 dBi in the 5.25GHz band, and 2.06 dBi to 2.34 dBi in the 5.8GHz band.
