Abstract

The design of a compact array antenna of four pentagon microstrip patch antenna (PMSPA) has been proposed for sub 6 GHz applications. This array is to be achieved broadband (BB) and enhance directivity. The advantages of this proposed array are long-distance communication without attenuation of signals (i.e., enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)) and enhance the channel capacity. An analysis of a proposed four elements array is designed with a corporate feed network on a substrate of FR4 epoxy of a dielectric constant of 4.4 with a thickness of 1.6 mm at 6 GHz, which is simulated and analyzed in the results in HFSS software. The final model after analysis of the results is fabricated and its experimental results are compared with the simulation results. Both the fabricated and simulated results have almost the same other. its broadband is from 3.67 GHz to 5.05 GHz (i.e., the bandwidth of 1.48 GHz), and a maximum of 12.93 dB of directivity between 3 and 6 GHz. This proposed four-element pentagon microstrip patch antenna array is covered n77 and n78 bands for 5G wireless communication systems mainly.
