Abstract

In this paper we propose to predict the notch frequency of an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna which operates in the frequency band from 3.85 GHz to 12.38 GHz. The prediction of the notch frequency in order to avoid interferences between (WLAN) IEEE802.11a and HIPERLAN/2 WLAN applications and UWB technology is achieved using the artificial neural networks (ANN) technique. The developed ANN is optimized with the help of K-fold cross validation method which allows us to divide the datasets into 10 subsets in the training phase. The simulated datasets are generated by controlling high frequency structural simulator (HFSS) from MATLAB using a VB script. The performance of the ANN technique is assessed using some statistical criteria. During the training process, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) between the simulated and the predicted ANN notch frequencies is 0,125. A comparison between simulated, theoretical, and ANN results has been achieved during the test and validation process, good accuracy is obtained between the simulated and the ANN predictions. The proposed UWB antenna exhibits a notch band from 5.1 GHz to 6.0 GHz with a notch frequency of approximately 5.51 GHz.

Abstract

This paper introduces an innovative approach to design an extremely compact circular dual-band antenna suitable for 28/38 GHz 5G mmWave communications. Leveraging artificial neural network (ANN) and specially, multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture, the suggested antenna’s dimensions, which allow it to resonate across both frequencies, are predicted. The proposed circular patch antenna, featuring strategically placed rectangular and circular slots in the patch and the ground plane, attains a remarkable frequency range of 3 and 2 GHz for the initial resonant frequency of 28 GHz and the subsequent resonant frequency of 38 GHz bands, respectively. With maximal gains of 4.5 and 7 dB at the corresponding resonance frequency, respectively, the antenna also exhibits high efficiency. Remarkably, the dimensions of the individual antenna element are compact, measuring 4×6×0.8 mm3, showcasing a notable decrease in physical footprint. Furthermore, the single antenna seamlessly transforms into a 4×4 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna occupying a total volume of 16×16×0.8 mm3, showcasing superior isolation and good diversity performance. This research not only contributes significantly to advancing miniaturized dual-band antennas tailored for 5G mmWave applications but also underscores the effectiveness of ANN, particularly MLP architecture, in optimizing antenna designs. The proposed antenna, with its small form factor, stands out as a promising solution for new generation 5G communication systems.

Abstract

Nowadays, millimeter-wave frequencies present a catchy solution to securing the colossal data rate needed for 5G communications. Accordingly, this research deals with the conception of a novel orthogonal 2×2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) antenna design operating in the millimeter wave spectrum with quite small dimensions of 11×6×0.8 mm3. The single antenna element consists of a trapezoidal microstrip patch antenna built on the Rogers RT5880 laminate with a permittivity of 2.2 and tangent loss of 0.0009. A trapezoidal-slot ground plane is used to support the structure. The antenna resonates at 28 GHz with a large bandwidth of 4 GHz from 26 to 30 GHz, a good gain of up to 5 dB, and a high radiation efficiency of 99%. A strong isolation is achieved that surpasses 26 dB. Besides, a high diversity performance is achieved where the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is lower than 0.001, the diversity gain (DG) is greater than 10 dB, and the channel capacity loss (CCL) is no longer than 0.4 bit/s/Hz. The achieved outcomes prove the robustness of the suggested MIMO antenna and qualify it to be a strong candidate for 5G wireless devices.

Abstract

Miniaturization in the telecommunications field is deemed a current challenge and a critical demand in order to improve communication quality between the transmitter and the receiver while avoiding clutter issues. The main objective of this work is to design a miniature interdigital bandpass filter (IBF) using planar technology. The proposed bandpass filter is made up of three equidistant parallel-coupled lines carefully deposited on a small Rogers-5880 substrate possessing a full dimension of 10×10×1.6 mm3, a relative permittivity =2.2, and a loss tangen of 0.0009. The proposed IBF has been designed and simulated using the HFSS software, which is a simulator that studies the electromagnetic behavior of radio frequency structures using cutting-edge finite element solvers. The reached outcomes present good electrical performance in terms of insertion loss , reflection coefficient , voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and selectivity, making the proposed IBF suitable for integration in small electronic devices for C-band applications (4 GHz to 8 GHz).
