Hexagonal patch antenna is therefore very different from conventional antennas. For next-generation cellular networks, a novel wideband hexagonal patch antenna concept is being presented. The structure is made up of microstrip rectangles and hexagonal structures, with a total area of 40 40 1.5 mm3. Hexagonal patch antenna is designed utilizing RT duroid substrate. An improved S11 of more than 15 dB at the resonating frequency is observed at 2.5 GHz (2.26-2.84 GHz). 3.6 dB gain has been observed at the resonant frequency of 2.5 GHz. Effective impedance matching has been achieved by using the microstrip transmission line edge feeding technology and DGS in the ground plane. Hexagonal patch antenna produces high-quality double-polarized radiation and wide bandwidth, designed and simulated in far-field radiating settings. A novel, lightweight, high gain and wide-bandwidth hexagonal patch antenna is also needed for the 5G smartphone antenna system. The hexagonal patch antenna is a better choice for future 5G cellular applications due to its performance and small architectures. The 5G wireless communication antenna is therefore very different from conventional antennas.
