A novel low-cost, high-gain millimeter-wave antenna has been presented. The antenna is a 6 × 5 proximitycoupled planar array suitable for 5G cellular applications. Good agreement between simulated and measured results achievedshows thattheproposedantenna structure is efficientinachievingbroadbandcharacteristicsand lowsidelobe levels with a compact size. The antenna has a gain of 21 dBi over a bandwidth of 27.5-28.5 GHz. It also exhibits an impedance bandwidthof 9.8%from26.04to28.78GHz.
