With the rapid advancement of 5G wireless networks, there is a growing need for compact, high-performance antennas capable of operating across multiple mm-Wave bands. Microstrip patch antennas are ideal for 5G applications due to their low profile and ease of integration. However, achieving high gain, wide bandwidth, and high radiation efficiency in compact forms with multiband functionality antennas remains challenging. This paper presents a decagonal quad-band microstrip antenna integrated with mushroom-type Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structures, designed for operation at 28, 38, 45, and 60 GHz. The single-element antenna, fabricated on a 12 12 0.66 mm3 Arlon AD 255C substrate, incorporates three slits and ten mushroom-type EBG cells to enhance impedance matching and radiation performance. Simulated results show bandwidths of 1.7 GHz, 2.5 GHz, 5 GHz, and 15 GHz with peak gains of 6.5 dBi, 9 dBi, 8.9 dBi, and 8 dBi at the resonant frequencies, respectively. The proposed design also achieves efficiencies ranging from 78 % to 93.5 %. The proposed antenna offers compact size, high gain, and quad-band operation, making it a strong candidate for integration into next-generation 5G mobile devices. |
