Compact Parachute-Inspired 5G Antenna for NR n77, n78, and WiMAX Applications

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article shows the development and investigations of a miniaturized, cost-effective monopole antenna inspired by a parachute shape, designed for the current era of challenging miniaturization. The antenna operates at 3.6 GHz, targeting the new radio (NR) 5G (sub-6-GHz) n77 and n78 bands. This innovative antenna achieves a 55% reduction in size compared to a traditional circular antenna evaluated at 3.6 GHz. It delivers an normal gain of 4.5 dBi with a figure-of-eight radiation pattern, makes it suitable for further applications such as WiMAX (3.5 GHz), LTE advanced (3.8-4.0 GHz), radio astronomy (3.7-3.8 GHz), satellite downlinks (3.40-3.70 GHz), and fixed point-to-point microwave links$(\mathbf{3. 2 6 - 3. 3 0 ~ G H z})$.
