abstract = "A broadband snowflake antenna for future 5G and millimeter-wave communications is presented. The proposed antenna has a size of 8 \textbackslash{}times 5 mm\textasciicircum{}\{\textbackslash{}mathbf \{2\}\}The antenna consists of a central hexagon surrounded by a series of symmetrically placed smaller hexagons around it, resulting in broadband characteristics. The impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna ranges from 25.284-29.252 GHz. The antenna has a gain of 3.12 dBi at 28 GHz and is more than 98\% efficient. A distinct feature of the proposed antenna is its dual-beam radiation pattern. The two beams remain fixed at ±50° even if the frequency is varied with in its operating band. The proposed antenna is modelled on thin Rogers substrate which makes it very useful for future 5G smart phones.",
