Design and Simulation of Directional Antenna for Millimetre Wave Mobile Communication

Abstract: With increase in the smart phone users the capacity demand also increases, the fifth generation (5G) mobile technology would be able to greatly increase communication capacity by using the large amount of spectrum in the millimetre wave (mmWave) bands. The studied references shows that in addition to capacity boosting technologies 5G needs to offer ultra-reliable communications, low latency and massive connectivity. In this paper, we present the motivation for future antenna for 5G mobile communication, methodology, and offer a variety of simulation results that show 2.8 GHz frequency can be used when employing steerable directional antenna. The proposed idea is implemented by using HFSS software.
