Abstract

This communication reported the patch antenna working at Wi-Fi and 5G bands. To acquire compactness the side lengths of the patch are taken based on upper-frequency band (3.3 GHz). Dual-band operation (lower resonating band) is realized by loading the Mushroom Unit Cell (MUC) along the bottom right corner of the patch. To obtain Circular Polarization (CP) at the 5G band the conventional patch is modified with fractal boundary. This blend of the Double Negative Transmission Lines metamaterials (DNG TL), as well as fractal concepts yielded good compactness suitable for ultra-thin portable gadgets. Measured results have good correlation with simulated data from HFSS. The obtained bandwidths at the lower and upper bands are 2.51 % and 6.23 % when the Poly fractal curves are introduced. CP bandwidth of the proposed antenna at 5G band obtained from the measured data is 2.35 % which is the highest to the best of authors' knowledge for this type of thin antennas.
