Driving Connectivity: Designing a 5G microstrip patch antenna for enhanced vehicular communication

ABSTRACT: This research focuses on the development, examination, and assessment of a microstrip patch 5G antenna intended for integration into vehicle window glass to improve vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The antenna design incorporates key elements, including a coplanae waveguide (CPW), a monopole resonator, and an inductive line, to tackle challenges associated with the high dielectric loss observed in vehicle glass. The CPW is utilized for its low-profile structure, making it deal for the limited space on vehicle windows, while the monopole resonator is designed to achieve the desired resonance frequency in a compact from factor. The inductive line ensures efficient impedance matching and broadens the operational bandwidth. Thorough testing using MARLAB simulations and a vector antenna analyser verifies the antenna’s efficacy in establishing reliable communication links and achieving adequate gain, despite the complex dialectric properties of vehicle glass. The findings underscore the significant potential of microstrip patch antennas in advancing 5G communication within automotive settings. The research suggests adjustments to design parameters, such as the dimensions and placement of the CPW, monopole resonator, and inductive line, and highlights the importance of exploring new antenna materials with lower dialectric losses. Additional design considerations, including integration with other vehicular components and the impact of environmental factors, are also discussed for practical deployment. These recommendations provide valuable insights for refining antenna designs, ultimately improving 5G connectivity in automotive applications and contributing to the development of advanced V2V communication systems in next-generation vehicles.
