In this paper a low profile patch antenna has been designed for 5G communication application. The resonating frequency has been chosen as 3.5 GHz for 5G application. FR4 epoxy material with permittivity of 4.3 has been chosen for the substrate material which has fire redundant property. The size of the substrate is 25.2×48 mm². The main radiating patch is in a shape of ellipse and the line feed technique is used. The simulation is done by CST microwave studio software. Different parameters like S-Parameter, Antenna Gain, Directivity, Efficiency has been observed. The antenna has a gain of more than 5 dB which is very useful for communication applications. The antenna is designed for 5G communication applications.

Microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) are widely used and researched due to their compact size and ease of fabrication. This review presents a comparative analysis and bibliometric review of rapid prototyping techniques employed in the fabrication of MPAs, with a focus on identifying emerging trends and proposing a hybrid approach for enhanced scalability and efficiency. Furthermore, the study investigated the application of rapid prototyping technologies, specifically 3D printing and xurography, in the fabrication of MPAs. Using VOSviewer software, a bibliometric analysis was conducted on 2545 research articles published between 2000 and 2021, extracted from the Scopus database. The aim was to analyze the evolution and adoption of additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping techniques—specifically in the context of MPAs—and to evaluate research productivity based on keyword co-occurrence and thematic evolution in the field. The analysis revealed that while 3D printing has gained significant attention in antenna fabrication, xurography remains underutilized in MPA development. From the relevant keywords identified, “microstrip antennas” and “microstrip patch antenna” demonstrated strong co-occurrence, whereas “xurography” displayed limited connectivity, suggesting a gap in research. Xurography, often used in microfluidics, presents a promising approach for low-cost, eco-friendly antenna fabrication. The analysis highlights a significant opportunity for further research to explore xurography’s potential in antenna design and fabrication, addressing current limitations in cost-effectiveness and scalability. Bridging this research gap can advance the development of MPAs for both academic and industrial applications, making them more accessible and sustainable.

In this paper, a design of Ultra Wide-Band microstrip antenna based on circular microstrip patch for solar cell is proposed. In solar antenna design, researchers used several types of substrates materials in constructing the antenna. Two types of substrates that analyze and study by the researcher are Polyimide and Poly (methyl methacrylate) polymer matrix substrates. For this specific research study, the designed and analyzed methodology is conducted using CST microwave studio software using two types of substrates which are polyimide (Lossy) with dielectric constant equal to εr = 3.5 and Poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer matrix with dielectric constant equal to ϵr = 4.9. This analysis is to compare the bandwidth performance of polyimide and Poly (methyl methacrylate) polymer matrix substrate that been use in solar antenna’s studies by many researches. For these types of research analysis, the aim of this study specifically to have a material that gives high performance in bandwidth. Choosing of suitable material as the substrates also one of the ways to improve the antenna design performances. Broader bandwidth will have the capability to transfer higher data rates. Performances characteristics of the microstrip circular patch antenna of each of the substrates materials designs are also obtained and compared.
