Phased Millimeter-Wave Antenna Array for 5G Handled Devices

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors present the fundamental theory behind microstrip antenna array design and beamforming. Thus, design and simulation of low profile microstrip phased arrays for 5G applications will be discussed. It will be organized as follows: In Section 2, the 5G mobile network frequency spectrums will be discussed. In Section 3, the authors will explore the recent trends and developments on the main used techniques in systemic designs of low-profile antenna arrays followed by their investigations on some mm-wave antenna arrays. Next, in Section 4, fundamental theory behind phased antenna array, followed by some simulation results, will be presented and discussed. Finally, in Section 5, a conclusion highlighting the advantages of some techniques will be presented.
