Abstract: A compact antenna which can operate in the 5G communication is presented in this paper. The antenna has been designed by doing the geometrical modifications in the concept of collinear arrays at millimeter wave (MMW) band. This antenna is an extension of the standard narrowband Franklin antenna in a compact 2-D model. The proposed antenna resonates at 25.2 GHz and achieves the bandwidth of approximately 5.5 GHz over the band of 22-27.5 GHz which is one of the bands used in 5G wireless networks recommended by US Federal Communications Commission. In order to achieve the desired band the DGS ground plane has been used. This antenna provides a uniform gain over the bandwidth and achieves a highest gain of 13.3 dB. The performance of an antenna has been examined by simulation of various results like reflection coefficient, VSWR, gain, BW, radiation pattern; impedance plot etc. This antenna can be used in the future 5G communication applications.
