Abstract

A novel dual-band patch antenna operating at 28/38 GHz is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems in this paper. The antenna utilizes substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transmission line as the feed by means of a coupling slot on the SIW. A square patch antenna functions as the radiator for 28 GHz. The inductive loading, which presents as a pair of shorting pins in this design, achieves the impedance matching for 28 GHz-band. Etched on the square patch, the proposed H-shaped slot makes the radiator to performance as an antenna containing two radiating arms and thus introduces another resonant frequency at 38 GHz. Directions of the surface current on the paired arms are identical and produce a reasonable radiation pattern for 38 GH-band. Simulated results declare that the antenna achieves an S11 <-10$ dB bandwidth of 27.6-28.5 GHz (relative bandwidth of 3.2%) and 36.9-38.9 GHz (relative bandwidth of 5.3%), while simulated gain is 9.0 dBi at 28 GHz and 5.9 dBi at 38 GHz, respectively. Measured results have verified the feasibility and correctness of the proposed dual-band antenna, which indicate that the antenna is a promising candidate for MIMO communication systems at millimeter-wave (mmW) band.
