Design of an elliptical arc-shaped antenna at 37 GHz and performance analysis for 5G on-body application

This paper presents a compact 5G wideband antenna designed for body-centric networks (BCN) operating on the Ka band. The antenna design includes a simple arc-shaped radiator patch with full ground plane and transformer impedance feedline. Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio Suite,...
