ABSTRACT

The paper presents design of microstrip patch antenna array with two elements radiating for 5G C-
band access point application resonating at 3.6GHz. Proposed antenna is designed on Rogers
RO4350(tm) substrate with 3.54mm thickness and dielectric constant =3.66. The designed
antenna has three slots, two placed on each radiating elements and one on the power line.
Simulated by using HFSS17.02, the gain of the designed antenna is 9dBi and his bandwidth is
200MHz.

Keywords: Microstrip patch antenna; bandwidth improvement; return loss 5G.
