This paper presents the design of a compact printed 5G monopole antenna for vehicular communication applications. The monopole antenna is placed directly on the laminated glass of vehicle for eliminating additional mounting space. The proposed antenna operates within the sub-6 GHz frequency range, covering the 5G bands from 26 GHz to 30 GHz. The antenna features a simple and compact design, making it suitable for integration into vehicles. The design utilizes a monopole resonator, magnetic line, and co- planar waveguide (CPW) to achieve improved performance. The antenna is designed on the vehicle’s windshield. The simulated results show a reflection coefficient of -10 dB and a gain of 8.5 dBi across the operating frequency range. The proposed antenna is a promising candidate for vehicular 5G communication systems, enabling reliable and high-speed data transmission for various applications, including vehicle- to-everything (V2X) communication and autonomous vehicles.
