      abstract = {This paper deals with the design and optimization of rectangular microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) for 5G applications using RTDuroid substrate. The performance of such an antenna is analyzed based on single rectangular MPA return loss, bandwidth, Gain and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. Thereafter, array configurations (1x2 and 1x4 arrays) have been examined for their effect on antenna performance. With the optimization that has been done on these arrays, there is a significant increase in their gain and radiation patterns, that is, the main lobe magnitude has increased, the beamwidth is reduced, and side lobes are at a lower level. The results demonstrated the promise of optimized rectangular MPAs and arrays that could meet the requirements imposed by 5G networks such as high gain, wide bandwidth, and such.},
