N2 - This paper presents a comprehensive viability analysis of using liquid metals in planar antenna design for mm- wave 5G applications. The study explores the unique properties of liquid metals, such as their high conductivity and flexibility, which make them promising candidates for next-generation antenna materials. Firstly, the transmission line model is analyzed using liquid metals like mercury, gallium, indium, and tin (Galinstan), and EGaIn nanoparticles. Later, an inset-fed antenna was realized, and the performance in terms of reflection coefficient, radiation patterns, gain, and efficiency was observed. Our findings demonstrate that liquid metals show similar trends to copper material with decent results. This research underscores the potential of liquid metals to revolutionize planar antenna design, paving the way for advanced, high-performance mm-wave 5G communication systems.
