        abstract = {Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPAs) play a critical role in modern wireless communication systems due to their compact size, easy integration, and capability to ensure reliable communication across wide frequency ranges. This paper presents the design and implementation of a compact microstrip patch antenna operating at 26 GHz for 5G millimeter wave applications. A Defected Ground Structure (DGS) is incorporated to enhance impedance matching, bandwidth, and gain while reducing antenna size. The antenna is designed on a Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate and simulated using CST. Simulation results show significant improvement in return loss, bandwidth, and radiation characteristics compared to a conventional patch antenna. The proposed antenna is suitable for 5G.},
