Abstract

This paper presents a simple structure and small size antenna design with dimensions of 43×47 mm2 to perform an ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency range using a semicircular co-planar waveguide (CPW). This antenna has been designed and simulated by the computer simulation technology (CST) microwave studio suit. In this work, we design an ultra-wideband antenna (about 2 GHz to 10 GHz) by feeding a semi-circular compact antenna via a co-planar waveguide for input impedance of 50 Ω. The CST simulation results show that our designed antenna has a very good impedance and radiation characteristic within the intended ultra-wideband. Because of the small size and the suitable shape, this antenna can be used in many wireless communication applications, such as a radio frequency identifier (RFID), indoor wireless local area network or wireless fidelity (WiFi), internet of things (IoT), millimeter waves communications (mmWave), global positioning system (GPS), and many applications of 6G systems.

Abstract

In the fifth generation of wireless communication systems (5G), the millimeter wave (mmWave) signal can be affected by many challenges in irregular environments such as dust and sand storms. In this paper, we investigate the attenuation that faces a mmWave link signal in a dusty environment for different sizes of dust particles. Further, we derive a model to calculate the total attenuation in mobile communication systems and/or internet of things (IoT) in different base stations highnesses. The obtained results show that in a dusty environment it is better to have high base station transmitters as the signal may escape the dense dust area. The paper also studies the case of the city of Mosul to find that not only the dry weather is increasing the attenuation, but wet weather also may impact more on the attenuation in the mmWave systems.
