Analysis of Millimeter-Wave Radiating Systems for 5G (Phase 2)

This Phase III research project focuses on addressing the challenge of spectrum saturation in telecommunications by exploring the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band as a solution for achieving high speeds and low latency in 5G communications. The main problem is that the high frequencies in this band result in very small antenna dimensions, complicating the design process and causing significant variations in critical parameters like the reflection coefficient (S11) and VSWR, deviating from ideal mathematical models. The proposed solution involves exhaustive experimental and statistical investigation, reviewing the characteristics of radiating elements and the impact of the material used in the antenna structure. The goal is to identify proportions and adjustments that allow for designs achieving S11 parameters below -10dB and VSWR between 1 and 2. Expected outcomes include the publication of an indexed scientific article and the provision of analytical tools for telecommunications courses, benefiting students, the scientific community, and the national telecommunications sector.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To analyze the impact that antenna materials have on the reflection coefficient (S11) and VSWR so that these radiating systems operate efficiently in the millimeter-wave band.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>New generation telecommunications networks
