Abstract: Nowadays, wireless telecommunication system is increasing with rapid growth. In order to boost the gain and radio bandwidth of the antenna, the dual band functions play a vital role. The prime motto of this article is to get high gain with a tagged-T type antenna and designed for the 5G applications with truncated ground. The proposed antenna covers a frequency in the range of 2 GHz to 10 GHz. The notch on the antenna facilitates the dual band activity and improvises the gain. The antenna is designed with substrate as Rogers's material with a ε_r = 4.4 (relative permittivity) of dielectric constant loss tangent value of 0.0009 and having a density of thickness 1.6. The proposed antenna can be used for various applications such as X-band, satellite applications, etc. It is especially useful for 5G applications by obtaining more gain. The simulation results are verified with the aid of Ansys HFSS software. This design achieves S₁₁ losses at −31.54 dB and −30.02 dB with respective frequencies of 8.84 GHz and 3.40 GHz. Similarly, the gain is 1.75 dB, bandwidth of 5.4 GHz.

Keywords: tagged-T; high gain; bandwidth; multiband applications; VSWR; communications.
