Design and development of high performance mic antenna in v band using gi fi standards

Abstract

This research investigates the design and development of a high-performance newlinemicrostrip antenna optimized for wireless communication in the V-band spectrum, specifically targeting Gi-Fi applications within the millimeter-wave frequency range of 57 GHz-64 GHz. As demand for ultra-fast, reliable, and energy-efficient data transmission grows, the need for antennas that support high data rates, wide bandwidth, and efficient performance becomes newlineincreasingly critical. This research contributes to advancing next-generation newlinewireless networks, including 5G and beyond, by addressing key challenges in V-band antenna design, such as achieving high gain and broad bandwidth while maintaining efficiency at high frequencies. To overcome these challenges, the proposed antenna incorporates advanced design methodologies. It utilises RT Duroid 6010 as the substrate material, selected for its high dielectric constant, low loss tangent, and thermal stability. These properties reduce signal losses and enable compact microwave circuit designs without performance trade-offs. The antenna, measuring 5 mm × 5 mm with a thickness of 0.508 mm, underwent rigorous simulations using the HighFrequency Structure Simulator. The results confirmed resonance at 60 GHz, with a gain of 7.61 dB and a bandwidth of 6.6 GHz, demonstrating its newlinecapability for high-speed communication. Following successful simulations, the antenna was fabricated via photolithography, ensuring precision and consistency. Experimental validation was conducted under real-world newlineconditions, utilizing a Python-based Data Rate Analyser to assess key performance metrics, including achievable data rates, signal power, and distance-related degradation. The prototype achieved a peak data rate of 5 Gbps in short-range scenarios, aligning with Gi-Fi technology standards. As newlineexpected with millimeter-wave propagation, signal attenuation led to minor performance degradation at increased distances.
