This paper proposes a graded effective refractive indexes (GRIN) dielectric lens for 5G applications. The inhomogeneous holes in the dielectric plate are perforated to provide GRIN in the proposed lens. The constructed lens employs a collection of slabs that correspond to the specified graded effective refractive index. The thickness and the whole lens dimensions are optimized based on designing a compact lens with optimum lens antenna performance (impedance matching bandwidth, gain, 3 dB beamwidth, and sidelobe level). A wideband (WB) microstrip patch antenna is designed to be operated over the entire band of interest from 26 GHz to 30.5 GHz. For the 5G mm-wave band of operation, the behavior of the proposed lens along with a microstrip patch antenna is analyzed at 28 GHz for various performance parameters, including impedance matching bandwidth, 3 dB beamwidth, maximum gain, and sidelobe level. It has been observed that the antenna exhibits good performance over the entire band of interest in terms of gain, 3 dB beamwidth, and sidelobe level. The numerical simulation results are validated using two different simulation solvers. The proposed unique and innovative configuration is well-suited for 5G high gain antenna solutions with a low-cost and lightweight antenna structure. |
