Increase in the demand of 5G technologies the demand for antennas capable of transmitting 5G signals has gone high. A wideband low-profile antenna for 5G applications is presented in this thesis. The proposed design comprises of a pair of vertically placed feeding structures and an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) surface. The antenna operates at the frequencies of 2.76 - 5.55GHz. The 4x4 AMC reflector surface is used to obtain a stable and unidirectional radiation pattern and also to obtain the low-profile characteristics. The maximum gain of 12.11 dB is achieved using the proposed antenna. Experimental results confirm the antenna meets the need for 5G communication.
