Abstract
This work presents a new feeding mechanism through radio frequency (RF) cables to a dual-band dual-polarization millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) antenna array integrated with a U-slotted full-metal casing of a cellular phone with a screen-to-body ratio higher than 94.1% (based on the active area of the display) for the fifth generation mobile communications (5G) applications so that the losses of feeding paths can be mitigated in comparison with the FPC-based feeding mechanism [1] and the bendability of feeding mechanism can also be maintained. Through this design, the radiation performance of two 5G mm-Wave bands n261 (27.5 GHz–28.35 GHz) and n260 (37.0 GHz–40.0 GHz) in the third generation partnership project (3GPP) can be enhanced and the conformability to the metal exteriors and challenging product shapes can be ensured, too. The integrated design is promising to the future potential attractive solution of mm-Wave antennas in non-mm-Wave antennas (AiA) especially for cellular phones with metal frames or metal casings.
