Substrate integrated waveguide microwave antenna and filter design using H-fractal unit cell

Currently, the fifth generation (5G) technology has been assigned for microwave. There are several challenges in developing antennas and filters for 5G devices that need to be addressed such as low efficiency and large size at the lower proposed 5G frequency band (1 GHz -6 GHz). Hence, a compact...

description Currently, the fifth generation (5G) technology has been assigned for microwave. There are several challenges in developing antennas and filters for 5G devices that need to be addressed such as low efficiency and large size at the lower proposed 5G frequency band (1 GHz -6 GHz). Hence, a compact size device and wideband are the main requirements for the lower 5G bands applications. To allow small package devices for lower 5G band technology, the antennas and filters should be small enough to maintain the integration of massive network and keep a good performance of the state of art devices. Generally, microstrip planar technology is used to implement the antennas and filters.
