Wideband High-Gain Low-Profile Series-Fed Antenna Integrated with Optimized Metamaterials for 5G millimeter Wave Applications

This paper presents a series-fed four-dipole antenna with a broad bandwidth, high gain, and compact size for 5G millimeter wave (mm-wave) applications. The single dipole antenna provides a maximum gain of 6.2 dBi within its operational bandwidth, which ranges from 25.2 to 32.8 GHz. The proposed approach to enhance both gain and bandwidth involves a series-fed antenna design. It comprises four dipoles with varying lengths, and a truncated ground plane. These dipoles are connected in series on both sides, running in parallel through a microstrip line. The proposed design significantly enhances the bandwidth, which extends from 26.5 to 40 GHz. This frequency range effectively covers the 5G bands of 28 and 38 GHz. The expedited trust-region (TR) gradient-based search algorithm is utilized to optimize the dimensions of the antenna components, resulting in a maximum gain of 11.2 dBi at 38 GHz. To further enhance the gain, modified H-shaped metamaterial (MTM)-based unit cells are integrated into the antenna substrate. The TR algorithm is employed once more to optimize the MTM dimensions, yielding a maximum gain of 15.1 dBi at 38 GHz. The developed system is experimentally validated, showing excellent agreement between the simulated and measured data.
