With rapid evolution of wireless communication and mobile networking techniques, one of the major advancements is
that fifth generation (5G) is envisioned in-order to meet the perpetual demand for greater network speed and capacity. This
paper provides an overview of the design of five reconfigurable antennas for 5G wireless application is introduced by varying the
substrate material used. Teflon, Taconic TLY, Rogers Ultralam 1217, Rogers RT/Duroid 5880, FR4 are the substrate materials
used in designing the respective antennas. The proposed antenna designs employ a leaky-wave antenna based on half-mode
substrate integrated waveguide.
