Abstract
Microstrip patch antennas play an important role in wireless communications to improve speed. Some of their benefits are low cost, low profile, and easy to fabricate. Existing research on microstrip patch antennas examines difficulties such as limited diversity performance, low radiation characteristics, and low efficiency. To address these issues, metamaterials are used to enhance diversity. This study focuses on designing a dual-band microstrip patch antenna for 5G applications to meet user demands with high data rates and enhance communication speed. To improve isolation and gain, a hexagonal-shaped Split Ring Resonator (SRR) was added to the substrate of the antenna. The proposed antenna model operates at frequencies greater than 28 GHz. The antenna dimensions are 25×25×0.15 mm, designed on a polyamide substrate with a loss tangent tan δ of 0.004, dielectric constant εr of 4.3, and relative permeability of 1. The suggested model was evaluated using several performance parameters, such as reflection coefficient, axial ratio, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), gain, and radiation patterns. The proposed model has S-parameter values of -17.6192 dB and -20.3264 dB, and gain values of 7.1 dB and 7.3 dB at 28.900 and 33.7400 GHz, respectively.
