Rhombus-Inscribed Circular Ring Fractal Array Antenna for Millimeter-Wave 5G Applications
A 1 × 4 planar fractal array antenna is designed and presented for millimeter-wave 5G applications. The array’s top side is made up of a rhombus-inscribed circular ring fractal patch radiator, while the backside is made up of a square notch-loaded partial ground plane. To achieve high gain, a 1 × 4...

| description | A 1 × 4 planar fractal array antenna is designed and presented for millimeter-wave 5G applications. The array’s top side is made up of a rhombus-inscribed circular ring fractal patch radiator, while the backside is made up of a square notch-loaded partial ground plane. To achieve high gain, a 1 × 4 corporate feeding network is used to excite the array elements. The designed array has an overall size of 28 × 17.75 mm2. From simulations as well as experimental results, it is observed that the designed array offers a wide impedance bandwidth in the frequency range of 22.8–29.2 GHz. Furthermore, a peak gain of 10.7 dBi with a radiation efficiency of >95% is observed in the operating bandwidth. |
