研究目的
To design and analyze a planar and compact substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity backed antenna and a 2 × 2 multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) fifth generation (5G) wireless communications operating at 28, 38, 45, and 60 GHz frequency bands.
研究成果
The proposed SIW cavity backed slot antenna and its MIMO version are suitable for 5G applications due to their compact size, quad-band operation, and good performance characteristics. The antenna's ease of fabrication and compatibility with various 5G applications make it a preferable candidate for smart phones, tablets, or any other portable device.
研究不足
The fabrication quality of the antenna is crucial due to the small wavelength at mm-wave operating frequencies. Any variation in the gap between the sidewalls may cause problems and leakage.
