Recent Advancement in 5G MIMO Antenna Design and Its Performance Optimization Techniques: A Review

Abstract

The extensive demand for high-speed communication and connectivity has triggered the need for research in fifth-generation (5G) of mobile communication. The 5G evolution will not be limited to only mobile phones but also provide seamless connectivity through the internet of Things (IoT) in services like smart cities, smart homes etc. The clear intention of the 5G technology is to provide a vast capacity of network, a higher speed of multiple Gigabits per second, and enhanced dependability with negligible latency and stable radiation. This goal will not be possible without an efficient antenna structure. Numerous 5G antenna designs have been put forth so far by various researchers, but a thorough analysis of the various types of antennas and the techniques of 5G used to improve their performance is required to select an appropriate design for a particular application. The most recent research on the various antenna types and performance improvement methods for 5G technology is presented in this review study. This study is an effort to comprehensively examine the various types of 5G antenna structures, their performance optimization methodologies, comparison, and potential future advancements.
