Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the mathematical modeling of an antenna in the frequency range of 26-52 GHz (the 5G RF2 Band) to be tested in an Over-The-Air (OTA) chamber and explore modification of the model to investigate radiation pattern output. This work is motivated by a project given to our independent study course by our industry partner OCELOTT. By literature review, we found that one of the important factors of antenna design is the path loss model. In this project, we experiment with how different environments generate different path loss models and present some examples of the environments and corresponding antennas. We also seek to make recommendations on the antennas to use based on a particular environment to minimize the path loss. We examine different types of antennas and their geometry, as well as creating simulations for the path loss to see how the signal would be affected.
