N2 - This paper presents the design and analysis of a simple geometry ultra-wideband antenna for 5G Ka-band applications. The antenna is inspired from a T-shaped microstrip antenna. Initially consecutive iterations were performed to design a wideband antenna using T-shaped fractals. Afterwards, various performance parameters including impedance bandwidth, radiation pattern and gain was improved by optimizing the shape and various lengths of the antenna. The proposed work offers an ultra-wideband range of 25 - 39.2 GHz covering > 97% of Ka-band, having broadside radiation pattern with high gain between 6-10 dBi. The antenna offers a compact size of 15×15×1.524 mm3 and high overall performance as compared to the recently reported work for similar applications. The design and analysis of the proposed work were performed using High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS).
