Wideband Hexagonal Type Antenna Design for 5g Networks

Abstract

In this paper, hexagonal type antenna for the next generation (5G) mobile networks is proposed. Both the microstrip feed line and coaxial feed techniques are used to feed the antenna. The best feed point location for both techniques is found to achieve the highest performance. The High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS 12.0) is used to simulate the antenna and find out the characteristics. The antenna performance characteristics such as VSWR, return loss, radiation pattern are obtained.
