| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a low-profile multi-slotted patch antenna for long term evolution (LTE)
and fifth-generation (5G) communication applications. The studied antenna comprised of a
stepped patch and a ground plane. To attain the required operating band, three slots have
been inserted within the patch. The insertion of the slots enhances the capacitive effect and
helps the prototype antenna to achieve an operating band ranging from 3.15 to 5.55 GHz
(S11 ≤−10 dB), covering the N77/N78/N79 for sub-6 GHz 5G wireless communications
and LTE bands of 22/42/43/46. The wideband antenna presented in this paper offers omni-
directional stable radiation patterns, good gains, and efficiency with a compact size which
make this design an ideal contender for wireless fidelity (WiFi), wireless local area network
(WLAN), LTE, and sub-6 GHz 5G communication applications. | en_US |
