Antena Mikrostrip Rectangular Array 4x2 Elemen dengan Metode Inset Feed pada Frekuensi 3,5 GHz untuk Aplikasi 5G

Abstract

The fulfillment of user needs in communication systems to support daily activities is increasing, thus making the development of technology in the telecommunications sector grow more rapidly. The greater the needs of users in telecommunications systems in the current era, the need for data transmission must also be faster with a wide bandwidth. Therefore, 5G technology is present which aims to perfect its predecessor generations and is expected to overcome these problems. One of the important devices to support the performance of this 5G network is an antenna that has a fairly large bandwidth and gain. In this research, a microstrip antenna has been realized using the array method with a 4x2 configuration and the inset feed method for antenna feeding for 5G applications using FR4 Epoxy dielectric material. This antenna design uses the array method to increase the gain value and also uses the inset feed method to make it easier to match impedance. This antenna was made in this 5G application and is successfully realized and is able to work at a frequency of 3.5 GHz, a bandwidth of 100 MHz at a return loss of 10dB, and a gain greater than 9 dB.
