High-gain dipole antenna using polydimethylsiloxane-glass microsphere (PDMS-GM) substrate for 5G applications

A new dipole antenna designed using polydimethylsiloxane–glass microsphere (PDMS-GM) substrate is presented. The PDMS-GM substrate offered a lower permittivity of 1.85 compared to pure PDMS of 2.7. This resulted in a wide operating frequency range from 19 GHz up to more than 45 GHz, indicating a ban...

description A new dipole antenna designed using polydimethylsiloxane–glass microsphere (PDMS-GM) substrate is presented. The PDMS-GM substrate offered a lower permittivity of 1.85 compared to pure PDMS of 2.7. This resulted in a wide operating frequency range from 19 GHz up to more than 45 GHz, indicating a bandwidth of more than 28 GHz. The proposed PDMS-GM antenna featured a gain of up to 13.3 dB compared to pure PDMS which only produced 13 GHz of bandwidth and 5.5 dB gain. Instead of wide bandwidth and high gain, the proposed antenna is capable of becoming water resistant by covering its radiator and SMA connector. Such capabilities of the new PDMS-GM antenna indicated suitability for the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems.
