This paper presents an investigation for the performance comparison of three different unit cell configurations operating at 26 GHz for 5G applications. The unit cells are cross shape dielectric resonator, cross microstrip patch and cross hybrid dielectric resonator. Verification of the comparison has been done by simulations using commercial Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST MWS). The simulated results for reflection phase, slope variation, reflection loss and 10% bandwidth were analyzed and compared. The results indicate that the optimum configuration to be deployed for the reflectarray’s unit element in order to fulfill the 5G requirements of a wide bandwidth is the cross hybrid DRA. This configuration is a combination of cross DRA with cross microstrip patch as the parasitic element in order to tune the phase and provide a wide phase range with smooth variation slope. Cross hybrid DRA provided a wide phase range of 520° with 0.77 dB loss and 10% bandwidth of 160 MHz.

This paper represents design of a wideband Rectangular Dielectric Resonator antenna fed by an aperture coupled technique. A bandwidth of 2.2 GHz has been achieved using a cross slot aperture in a ground plane for Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA). The simulated gain value achieved is 6.5dBi. The Rectangular Dielectric Resonator which has been designed in this paper can be used in 5G application frequency band of 24.25-27.5 GHz. The calculated percentage bandwidth is 15.38 %. An optimization of slot dimensions has also mentioned which can help to select a desired impedance match. The measured gain and bandwidth are efficient to use this design for various 5G applications. This unit cell wideband DRA can be used for millimeter wave frequencies of 5G.

In this paper, wideband high gain dielectric resonator antenna for 5G applications is presented. Higher order mode is exploited to enhance the antenna gain, while the array of symmetrical cylindrical shaped holes drilled in the DRA to improves the bandwidth by reducing the quality factor. The proposed DRA is designed using dielectric material with relative permittivity of 10 and loss tangent of 0. 002.The Rogers RT/Droid 5880 has been selected as substrate with relative permittivity of 2.2, loss tangent of 0.0009- and 0.254-mm thickness. The simulated results show that, the proposed geometry has achieved a wide impedance bandwidth of 17.3% (23.8-28.3GHz=4.5 GHz) for S11 less than -10 dB, and a maximum gain of about 9.3 dBi with radiation efficiency of 96% at design frequency of 26 GHz. The DRA is feed by microstrip transmission line with slot aperture. The reflection coefficient, the radiation pattern, and the antenna gain are studied by full-wave EM simulator CST Microwave Studio. The proposed antenna can be used for the 5G communication applications such as device to device communication (D2D).

In this paper, Microstrip slot aperture and Microstrip line feeding techniques of dielectric resonator antenna are investigated and examined at 26 GHz for 5G applications. The dielectric resonator has a dielectric constant of 10 and etched on Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate having a thickness of 0.254mm and relative permittivity of 2.2. The proposed structures are optimized and simulated using the commercial software CST Microwave studio. The effect of feeding techniques on the bandwidth, radiation efficiency, gain, VSWR and radiation pattern are also examined and analysed. The return loss, bandwidth, gain, radiation efficiency, VSWR and radiation pattern are presented and compared based on the excitation method employed for the studied DRA. The simulated results show that the microstrip slot aperture provides good performance and is suitable for 5G applications.

A probe fed rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is designed here for millimeter wave 5G applications. A wide bandwidth of 5GHz has been achieved with frequency range from 24.24GHz to 29. 20GHz. The calculated percentage banwidth is 19% centered at 26GHz. The DRA is fed by a probe with a microstrip line of unequal strip dimensions over the substrate. The measured gain of the antenna is 6.25dBi. The calculated radiation efficiency is 96%. The measured axial ratio bandwidth is from 24.08GHz to 23.90GHz, which is about 0.75 percentage bandwidth. The probe height above to the substrate is optimized to exite the DRA. The microstripline coupling is used to resonate the DRA at desizred resonating frequency. The widebandwidth with high efficiency achived here will make this antenna suitable for the 5G applications at band 30 GHz.

This article presents a planar array of rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna operating for 28 GHz applications. The proposed antenna is formed through two stages of designs which are a single element and planar array. It is made up from a ceramic material with a dielectric constant of 10 and mounted on RT/Duroid 5880 with a relative permittivity of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.254 mm. A prospective study using three different configurations of three by three planar array is done in order to obtain the best performance in terms of bandwidth, gain, and cost reduction. Besides that, this study is also conducted for a beam steering capability of each configuration. Finally, the best configuration is proposed for 5G application.
