Abstract

This paper presents a conformal shared aperture microstrip 2 x 2 array antenna designed for dual-band operation at 38 and 60 GHz frequencies on a flexible substrate (Rogers RO4003c). The window shaped slot is designed to operate at 38 GHz and the patches placed inside the window shaped slot are designed to operate at 60 GHz. Corporate feeding is employed to excite the patches operating at 60 GHz. The proposed antenna can bend to fit any shape of wearable device since it is designed on a flexible substrate. Application of this SAA is in wearable devices operating in 5G communication system. The antenna design has been simulated using CST microwave studio and finally the simulation results are presented.
