Abstract: In this manuscript, an 8 × 1 rectangular 'U' slotted patch antenna array designed for future 5G communications is presented. The proposed antenna is designed using the 3D EM CSTv18 microwave studio based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, and compared using HFSSv19 EM (high frequency structure simulator) based on the finite element (FEM) method. Three scenarios are considered in this work, the first one is the analysis of antenna performance of single element, regular antenna array and slotted antenna array in order to evince the performance of the proposed antenna for future 5G communications. The designed array antenna presents good results in term of return loss, efficiency, VSWR, input impedance and gain. Moreover, a comparison between the proposed work and other related works is presented.
