Abstract

Mobile technology is an important part in our life that connects individuals with one another. The evolution of mobile technology started from 1 Generation, 2 Generation, 3 Generation, 4 Generation and currently, 5 Generation technology. The need for 5G technology is brought about by the needs to accommodate various technologies such as the advent of Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0. Due to the high needs of 5G technology, various mobile company in Malaysia has started to do their own research and trials to prepare for 5G technology using the frequency mid-band of 3.3 – 3.8GHz. Which is why there is a need to research an antenna that can work within the mid-band frequency for 5G in Malaysia. This research focus on designing a patch antenna at 3.65GHz using harmonic suppression for 5G communication. To make sure that the antenna can work at 3.65GHz, harmonic suppression techniques are needed to suppress the higher modes of harmonic. Harmonic suppression technique can be used to control the surface current distribution on the antenna, thus effectively reducing the higher modes of harmonic. By controlling the length and width of the structured used for harmonic suppression, the degree of suppression will also be varied. To design this antenna, Computer Simulation Technology (CST) was used as the simulator to simulate the designed antenna.
