Abstract: The purpose of this research is to develop a slotted pentagonal MIMO antenna specifically for 5G Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication. The proposed antenna takes the shape of a pentagon with elliptical slots, and the feed is positioned slightly away from the centre to optimise gain. V2V communication relies on antennas that can effectively capture signals even while in motion within a vehicle. The proposed antenna supports dual operating bands, enabling it to operate in the required frequency ranges. In the 5G frequency spectrum, the antenna achieves a maximum gain of 7.34 dB, which can significantly enhance V2V communication capabilities. The presence of elliptical slots enables the antenna to focus the transmitted and received signals in specific directions, improving signal strength, directivity, coverage and overall system performance. These characteristics make it well-suited for enabling reliable and efficient V2V communication in the context of 5G networks.

Keywords: V2V; 5G frequency bands; MIMO; antenna; communication.
