Abstract

The design of microstrip antennas for a 6G application is the main emphasis of this work. In the area of mobile communication, the rate of scientific and technological advancement has never slowed. To handle the enormous quantity of data traffic brought on by the increase in wirelessly linked devices, 6G was created. In addition, it provides customers with massive capacity, low latency, high bit rates, a variety of brand-new services, and vertical applications. Due to this, the new THz band frequency range is in focus. This study focuses on designing an antenna that operates at 250 GHz, where ground plane and patch antenna is used which is made of copper material and substrate is made of polyimide film which has ε = 3.4 where the antenna's performance was examined and improvements were made. The simulation results show that the proposed single-element 6G antenna has a greater gain of 6.41 dBi and a larger bandwidth of 8.25 GHz between 246.50 GHz and 254.75 GHz at − 10 dB level.
