Abstract
This research presents a new ship-shape planar monopole antenna. The design has an extreme operating frequency covering the full lower fifth generation bands varying from 2.95 GHz to more than 19.85 GHz. This bandwidth furthemore includes other bands such as the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. The antenna has been designed and simulated via an industrial standard simulation software called CST microwave studio. The proposed design has a reduced structure with total size of 20x24x1.6 mm. The patch is printed on a substrate of Rogers Duriod RT 5880LZ which has relative permittivity of 1.96 and loss tangent of 0.00009. The reflection coefficient (S11) and normalized radiation pattern have been simulated. The design has a bandwidth of 17 GHz over which the radiation patrern is omnidirectional pattern. The ship-shape patch is suitable for the fifth generation systems and many other wireless applications.
