Abstract :This study presents an origami inspired sub-6 GHz accordion monopole antenna for 5G applications. Parametric study is performed by varying monopole height, fold width and bevel angle to examine the antenna performance in the 1 GHz - 6 GHz frequency range. The proposed antenna is designed with the values that yield the best performance in accordance with the results of parametric study. Antenna behavior is then evaluated in terms of Return Loss, gain and radiation pattern. The proposed antenna operates in 1.22 GHz - 6 GHz frequency range which covers almost the entire sub-6 GHz range with an approximate impedance bandwidth of 132%. Hence, the designed antenna structure has a good performance in the sub-6 GHz and it is a promising design for 5G applications.
