This paper proposes a compact wideband split ring resonator (SRR) based C-shaped antenna for 5G new radio (NR) band n258 millimeter wave (mm-Wave). The proposed antenna covers a wideband frequency range from 24.1 GHz to 28.3 GHz with a reflection coefficient below -10 dB. Stubs are used at each C-shaped element for impedance matching of the antenna. The proposed antenna comprises SRRs with stubs to increase the bandwidth and gain simultaneously for better performance in mm-Wave applications. A simple SRR structure is modeled to function as a reactive impedance surface with inductive property for frequencies less than 30.2 GHz. The proposed antenna realizes an impedance bandwidth of 16.1% and covers a wideband of 4.2 GHz (24.1 GHz -28.3 GHz). The use of stubs and SRR has improved the performance of the proposed antenna at mm-Wave frequencies. Specifically, the deployment of the SRR is able to produce an improved gain for the overall direction of the antenna. The simulation and measured results agree well and maintain a 7.49 dBi gain with a bandwidth of 4.2 GHz. An average efficiency of 90% can be attained in the operating range of the antenna. The designed antenna is applicable for 5G NR Band n258.
