Abstract

This research presents the performance improvement of the of rectangular patch microstrip antenna. The purpose is to increase gain and bandwidth with design on the PRS (Partially Reflective Surface) dual layer technique. There is a developing the low-cost substrate-based antennas suitable for 5G millimeter-wave. The prototype antenna achieves a maximum gain of 11.8 dBi at a frequency of 25.5 GHz. The gain increases by 6 dB throughout its operational frequency range, with an OBW (Overlap bandwidth) of 20.9%, covering frequencies from 24.0 GHz to 29.9 GHz. The performance achieved results indicate that the prototype antenna can be effectively utilized for 5G millimeter-wave communication applications in Thailand.
