• Vehicle-to-vehicle communication advances and efficient

antennas for V2X applications become increasingly
crucial.

• Existing communication infrastructures face challenges

in meeting modern vehicular application requirements.

• This study proposes a new microstrip patch 5G antenna

design specifically crafted for integration into vehicle
window glass.

 Objectives of the Study
1. To develop an innovative design for a 5G microstrip patch antenna that can be efficiently integrated into
vehicle window glass that can overcome the challenges of high dielectric loss and thick glass substrate.

2. To assess the performance of the proposed microstrip patch antenna in terms of gain, reflection coefficients,
radiation patterns and efficiency, particularly in the 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) band.

3. To investigate the role of inductive lines in improving the overall gain and performance of the proposed
antenna.

4. To conduct experimental and simulation-based analyses to validate the proposed antenna design including
measurements of reflective coefficient and radiation patterns.
