In this study, a 28-GHz U-slot rectangular microstrip patch antenna for 5G Applications is proposed. The U-slot antenna concept has been used in patch antenna designed to reduce antenna size.The U-slot patch antenna structure consists of a patch, U-shaped slot, a ground plane and coaxial feed lines. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated to meet the best possible result using a simulation software: Ansoft HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software version 15.0. Microstrip patch antennas are widely used because of their several advantages such as light weight, low volume, small size and low fabrication cost. The proposed antenna was measured and compared with the simulation results to prove the reliability of the design. The performance of the designed antenna was analyzed in term of gain, return loss, VSWR, and radiation pattern at frequency is 28 GHz.
