“…In the following, the short-circuited transmission line will be utilized for the antenna array design. Furthermore, in practical applications, the short-circuited transmission lines, switches and antenna array elements will be integrated together to form the Antenna-in-Package [21]. In this way, the loss can be further reduced and the system will be more reliable as well.…”

A compact beam-steerable antenna array is proposed for 28 GHz mobile terminals. The proposed array consists of one active element and two passive parasitic elements. Two switches are utilized in the design instead of phase shifters. Each parasitic element can be terminated with short-circuited transmission lines of different lengths via one switch. By controlling the two switches, different reactive impedance is loaded on two parasitic elements. The radiation pattern of the active element can be scattered into different directions by two parasitic elements. The switching loss is studied, where two switches with 2.8 dB loss cause less than 1.82 dB loss for the whole array. The small array locations on the chassis are also investigated. The designed array is smaller than 0.81 wavelength, and covers the band of 28-29 GHz with the scan angle ≥ ±90 o. By placing two arrays on each long chassis edge, 360 o beam steering can be realized. Surface currents on the chassis are efficiently excited to achieve high gain with the small array. Measurements are carried out and align well with simulations. In practical applications, several small arrays can be implemented on the metal back cover and around a cellphone to combat users' mobility.

“…The 5G systems use mmWave, which has a problem with higher propagation loss than the conventional systems. For this reason, the antenna used in the 5G systems requires miniaturization, high gains, wide bandwidth, and high‐speed data transmission technology . Many studies have been done on antennas to satisfy these requirements.…”

This article presents a millimeter‐wave (mmWave) microstrip patch antenna (MPA) with a vertically coupled split ring metaplate (VCSRM). The narrow bandwidth and low gain of MPA are improved using VCSRM by periodically arranging split rings on the front and backsides of a dielectric slab. Numerical and experimental results show that the proposed antenna attains good radiation pattern, a high gain of 11.94 dBi, and a measured fractional bandwidth covering 26.58 to 29.31 GHz (9.77%). The gain of the antenna is increased by 5.35 dBi and the bandwidth is improved by 3.87% when compared to MPA without VCSRM. Thus, the proposed antenna with a small size of 18 × 22 mm2 is suitable for mmWave applications.

“…Still, the atmospheric losses at these bands are the major issue and, therefore, these kind of antennas are not suitable for a long distance communication. To account for different propagation attributes in these mm-wave bands, the design and implementation of on-chip antennas are presented in [11]- [13]. However, on-chip antennas suffer from low resistivity, high dielectric constant substrate, low gain (3.8 dBi at 30.5 GHz) [11], and poor radiation efficiency [12], which are the major issues in mm-wave 5G antennas.…”

In this work, a single element hand-pump shape microstrip patch antenna working at 3.4 GHz–3.8 GHz for future 5G applications is proposed. The overall dimensions of the proposed antenna are 34 mm × 28 mm × 1.6 mm. In order to obtain the desired bandwidth, three rectangular slots are etched from the radiating element along with the utilization of the defected ground structure. To optimize the geometrical parameters of the proposed antenna, performance comparison of various optimization techniques viz. Particle Swarm Optimization, Bat algorithm, Differential Evolution, and Artificial Bee Colony algorithm are presented. The performance of the antenna is analyzed with the help of S-parameter, gain, and radiation efficiency. The proposed antenna is resonant at 3.6 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 400 MHz and the radiation efficiency of 74 %, which is quite appropriate for a single element 5G antenna. Further, the suggested antenna is fabricated and experimentally tested for the validation of results.
