    In this article, a compact wearable quad element MIMO antenna is presented operating at 4.5 GHz for 5G n77, n78, and n79 bands with the use of polyester substrate with a size of 80 × 82 × 0.4 mm3. Here T-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) technique has been utilized to improve the impedance bandwidth along with the reduction of the mutual coupling between the radiating elements. The antenna is evaluated in terms of reflection coefficient, gain, efficiency, and radiation pattern. The proposed MIMO antenna attained a maximum simulated gain of 4.3 dBi, and an efficiency of 96 % in the resonating band.

    This paper is proposed based on considerable reviewed design techniques. It works at 200MHz, 800MHz and 1,200MHz named as “Trio-Band” with the fixed size of 300mm×300mm×1.6mm of the FR4 substrate. The antenna application is for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) with targeted depth range is from 10cm to 1,000cm. The combination of slotted shapes which is Half-circle, Staircase, Quarter-eclipse and Circular-Ring are applied to achieve the Trio-Band with the parametric analysis to determine the appropriate size. The final Vivaldi antenna achieves the reflective coefficient (S11) with -30.05dB (200MHz), -12.05dB (800MHz) and -15.35dB (1,200MHz) as well as 50Ω of impedance matching.

    This paper represents a wideband wearable antenna for 5G applications. In this proposed design, an antipodal vivaldi antenna structure is implemented on a polyimide and polyester combined substrate. The 120 × 95 × 0.82 mm3 sized antenna acquired a wide bandwidth of 910 MHz with a realized gain of 5.42 dBi and efficiency of 96 percent.

    In this paper, a compact wearable Vivaldi antenna resonating at 3.5 GHz is proposed for 5G n77, and n78 bands. It is designed upon a flexible polyester substrate having dielectric constant (εr) of 1.34 and loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.005. The antenna parameters were optimized via parametric analyses using CST software with a size of 45 × 45 × 0.4 mm3 (length × width × height). The antenna is evaluated in terms of reflection coefficient, gain, efficiency, radiation pattern, and surface current density. This antenna attained a maximum simulated gain of 4.7 dBi, and an efficiency of 98 % in the resonating band.
