Abstract

This study investigates the design and performance evaluation of circularly polarized microstrip antennas employing the LHCP polarization method for 5G communication in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configurations. The antenna design utilizes a truncated square patch combined with a U-shaped slot to achieve a circular polarization axial ratio of ≤ 3 dB, and rectangular slots to enhance radiation efficiency. Simulations were conducted for single patch, 1×2, 2×1, and 2×2 MIMO configurations at 3.5 GHz, with results showing significant improvements in gain, directivity, and front-to-back ratio across the configurations. The 2×2 MIMO design demonstrated the best performance with a peak gain of 5.98 dB, a narrow half-power beamwidth (74°), and highly symmetrical radiation patterns suitable for directional applications. The research highlight the potential of combining polarization diversity and compact microstrip designs to optimize antenna performance for modern 5G communication systems.
