This work studies the integration of a semicircular shaped array antenna into an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) which resonate at the desired operating frequency of 9.41 GHz. The proposed AMC performs as a high impedance surface with a high permeability (approximately 7.08) at 9.41 GHz, with a perfect magnetic conductor characteristic. As result, the AMC is able to be stacked adjacent to the semicircular shaped. The simulation results show that the AMC has successfully enhanced the gain and efficiency of the antenna to 9.55 dB and 97% respectively compared to 8.44 dB and 96% without AMC. Besides that, a slight bandwidth improvement, from 395 MHz to 398 MHz can be observed with the AMC. Both simulated and measured results show a good agreement in term of reflection coefficients and radiation patterns.

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.

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.
