Abstract

A novel integrated compact antenna with photonic band gap (PBG) structure, having switching capability between lower and upper bands of 5G cellular communication is proposed. The proposed antenna can operate in the lower band (3.1 GHz to 3.5 GHz) as well as in the upper band (24 GHz to 27 GHz) of 5G cellular communication. Two radiating patches for the aforementioned frequency bands are developed in the same structure. A small patch for the upper-frequency band is inserted into a rectangular slot made in a large patch of the lower-frequency band. Both patches radiate at different times with the same ground. Two PIN diodes have been used to excite both patches at different times. The results indicate that the antenna has higher gain and wider bandwidth than the conventional antenna without a PBG structure.
