Phased Array Configuration Study for 5G Mobile Terminals

摘要

In this work, the wideband phased antenna array element with a clearance of 1 mm and bandwidth of 11.1 GHz has been proposed for the 5G mobile terminals. The proposed element is combined into phased array systems with a total number of 8 elements in three different ways. The configuration with four sub-arrays of 2 elements each, two sub-arrays of 4 elements each, and a phased array of 8 elements have been considered. It has been found that even though more elements give higher gain, the four sub-arrays of 2 elements each yield better coverage performance.
