Abstract
A novel end-fire wide-scanning metasurface antenna array for a millimeter wave operating at 28 GHz is proposed in this paper. The suggested antenna is considered as a low-cost device since it is printed on both sides of a single-layer FR-4 substrate with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a size of 44×13 mm2. On the top side of the cell phone PCB, eight Yagi antenna elements fed by microstrip lines have been used to form a linear array. The antenna gain and impedance matching are increased by placing a 5×5 metasurface composed of metallic H-shapes right in front of the Yagi array. This technique achieves a large bandwidth of 3.5 GHz from 26.2 to 29.7 GHz, and a high gain of 15.5 dBi, which is almost stable over a wide scanning angle. Finally, in order to understand the integration impact, the proposed antenna phased array has been covered by a casing. The simulation result demonstrates that there is no degradation effect for the entire assembly.
