| Abstract | ||||
| The increasing demand for high-performance antennas in 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication systems necessitates innovative and efficient antenna designs. This paper introduces a high-gain, wideband 16-element Corporate-Series Feed Rectangular Patch Antenna Array specifically optimized for 39 GHz applications. The proposed design is compact and utilizes a Rogers RT5880 substrate with a thickness of 1.286 mm, achieving an impressive bandwidth of over 22.97 GHz, a peak gain of 17.12 dB, and a high radiation efficiency of 90.8%. To enhance overall performance, a Defected Ground Structure (DGS) is incorporated, effectively reducing mutual coupling and improving port isolation. Furthermore, advanced design strategies, such as the use of a low-loss substrate and precise impedance matching, are employed to minimize signal loss. The antenna performance is validated through both full-wave simulations using CST Microwave Studio and experimental measurements, showing excellent agreement. Compared to traditional designs, the proposed array offers significant performance improvements, making it a strong candidate for next-generation 5G mmWave wireless communication systems. | ||||
