Recent Development in 5G Antennas Design based-on Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) The fifth-generation (5G) communication systems represents the latest development in wireless and mobile communication technologies. Unlike ex-generations of mobile communications, 5G employ both millimeter wave (mm-wave) bands for the purpose of high data rate and low latency, while it uses microwave band (sub-6 GHz) for the purpose of excellent radio coverage. In order to maintain isolated antennas having compact size for current and future hand-portable devices, substrate integrated waveguide antennas (SIW) represent promising candidate that can meet current challenges in 5G antennas design. As an example, shared aperture antennas using dualmode composite concept attracts antenna designers currently. Additionally, the shorting vias in SIW structure simplify the isolation process between highly-dense MIMO antennas. This talk will review recent developments in SIW-based antennas for modern 5G applications.
