Abstract

This paper presents an optimization of a compact, ultra-wideband (UWB) rectangular microstrip patch antenna (MSPA), tailored for next-generation mm-wave wireless applications. The proposed UWB antenna offers significant enhancements in gain and bandwidth. It achieves an impressive bandwidth of 36 GHz, covering the V-band (40–75 GHz), essential for high-capacity satellite communication, as well as the 61.25GHz ISM band and most of the 60GHz WiGig band. Simulations performed using CST MW Studio 2021 demonstrate that the antenna achieves a maximum efficiency of 93.3% at 44.2 GHz and a minimum efficiency of 63.1% at 66.2 GHz. A maximum realized gain is 10.2 dB at 55.8 GHz, with the lowest realized gain being 4 dB at 65 GHz. These results underscore the antenna's suitability for future 5G handheld devices and other high-frequency applications. Comparative analysis with existing designs is provided, highlighting the proposed antenna’s superior performance metrics.
