Abstract

The proposed compact wideband antenna is developed to meet the increasing demand for efficient and miniaturized radiators in sub-6 GHz fifth generation (5G) and internet of things (IoT) wireless systems. The design features an octagonal radiating patch integrated with modified H-shaped slots to enhance the current path and impedance matching, while a graded defected ground structure (DGS) is introduced to improve bandwidth (BW) and suppress unwanted surface wave effects. Fabricated on an FR4 substrate and energised by a simple stripline feed, the antenna maintains a compact size of 18×15 mm² without compromising performance. It achieves a wide fractional BW of 42.81% spanning 3.1–5.8 GHz, with a resonance centered at 4.6 GHz and obtained reflection coefficient of −36 dB, indicating excellent impedance matching. Additionally, the suggested antenna provides the maximum gain of 3.14 dB and an overall radiation efficiency of 80.5%, demonstrating stable radiation characteristics while making it ideal for small, low-profile 5G and IoT communication devices.
