A WIDEBAND HIGH-GAIN MICROSTRIP ARRAY ANTENNA INTEGRATED WITH FREQUENCY-SELECTIVE SURFACE FOR SUB-6 GHZ 5G APPLICATIONS

This paper presents a wideband and high-gain rectangular microstrip array antenna with a new frequency-selective surface (FSS) designed as a reflector for the sub-6 5G applications. The proposed antenna is designed to meet the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standard for 5G in the mid-ban...
