Abstract: Millimeter wave (mmWave) technology is pivotal for high-speed, high-capacity wireless networks, particularly in 5G. Dielectric rectangular antennas, known for their low loss, high efficiency, and compact form factor, are increasingly used in these systems. However, their deployment in outdoor environments faces significant challenges from environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations, humidity, precipitation, wind, dust, pollution, solar radiation, multipath interference, and atmospheric absorption. These factors can alter dielectric properties, cause impedance mismatches, affect radiation patterns, and lead to signal attenuation. To address these issues, a combination of experimental measurements and simulations is essential. Data analysis helps identify patterns of performance degradation, guiding the development of robust antenna designs and effective mitigation strategies. These strategies include using materials with stable dielectric properties, applying hydrophobic coatings, designing robust mounting structures, and employing advanced signal processing techniques. By understanding and addressing these environmental challenges, the reliability and performance of dielectric rectangular antennas in outdoor mmWave networks can be significantly improved, ensuring stable and reliable communication
