Miniaturized dual band consumer transceiver antenna for 5G‐enabled IoT‐based home applications.

Summary: A thriving number of physical objects are being connected to the Internet wirelessly in an unparalleled manner registering the goal for Internet of Things. This paper proposed a cost effective low profile compact dual band resonant consumer monopole antenna of dimensions of 13 mm × 12 mm × 1.6 mm that is less than an area of a thumbnail or more or less similar to a micro‐SD card. The designed transceiver antenna is easy to fabricate and capable of operating at sub C‐band (3.4–3.6 GHz) for possible future fifth generation (5G) applications and 5.8G Wi‐Fi (5.725–5.825 GHz) band enabling home automation facilities. The proposed design accomplishes almost omni‐directional radiation pattern at the duplex bands, and the measured results are being validated with the simulated ones, which shows good agreement.
