Abstract:
A broadband super surface antenna is proposed and simulated with the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for 5G at emerging bands in FR3 and FR1 (sub-7 GHz). The antenna is composed of 4×4 circular patch metasurface, rectangular transmission line patch, ground with rectangular slot and two layers of substrate. The circular unit cells-based metasurface is analyzed by the characteristic mode (CM) to find the resonant bandwidth. Then, the proposed antenna is simulated with the UAV designed with different dielectric constants to simulate the scene. The results indicate that the -10 dB impedance bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern exhibit notable effects. After analysis, t was observed that there is a slight discrepancy between the antenna simulation and the actual application scenario. However, this error does not impact the antenna's performance on UAVs. The antenna demonstrates characteristics of broadband functionality, high gain, and low cross-polarization.
