Modern wireless communication infrastructure requires low profile, lightweight, high gain, and low
noise antennas to assure reliability, mobility, and high efficiency. Here, the technique uses a patch
antenna in terms of constructions simplicity applying the microstrip fabrication methods. In our study,
we are focused on uniformly linear, planar and circular patch arrays where it can provide linear and
circular polarisation which is desired especially in the physical layer of networks node of 5/6G mobile
communications. Our team put efforts into several designs of array antennas for Smart antenna
configurations at millimeter-wave in the applications that require beam forming with enhanced
adaptive techniques.
