Reconfigurable Planar Monopole Antenna for Fifth-Generation Mobile Communication System
Keywords:
5G, branch-line coupler, frequency reconfigurability, planar monopole antennaAbstract
A frequency reconfigurable planar monopole antenna for fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication terminal equipment is presented. The proposed antenna uses a meandered monopole, branch resonance and other techniques to make the antenna resonant in multiple frequency bands. The antenna is compact in size (115 mm × 55 mm × 0.8 mm) and has a longitudinal length less than one-tenth of the resonant wavelength (working at 1.79 GHz). The pin diode is designed between the planar meandered monopole antenna and branch. The current path of the highfrequency current on the antenna can be easily controlled by controlling the DC bias voltage of the diode, and the operating frequency of the antenna is switched between three frequency bands. The antenna is fed directly through a 50 Ω matched transmission line. The measured data of the antenna in the anechoic chamber show good consistency with simulation data. The radiation pattern of the antenna shows good omnidirectional characteristics and good frequency characteristics, with a maximum radiation gain of 13.6 dBi. Experimental results demonstrate that the antenna can meet the design requirements of 5G communication.
