“…The fifth generation (5G) communication technology provides a great potential for numerous emerging applications, such as broadband data traffic, augmented reality (AR), internet of things (IOT), internet of vehicles (IOV), etc. Because of the wide available bandwidth, the mm-Wave technique will play a key role in these emerging demands to achieve multi-gigabit-per-second data rates [1][2][3]. Figure 1a shows the spectra proposed by different regions in the world for 5G service, and frequency bands allocated around 28 GHz are one of the most promising candidates [4,5].…”

In this paper, the influence of the DC-blocking capacitors leveraged in coplanar waveguide (CPW) matching networks is studied. CPW matching networks with series-connected DC-blocking capacitors are less sensitive to capacitance and are adopted in a 28 GHz power amplifier (PA). The PA targeting fifth-generation (5G) phased array is developed in 90 nm silicon-on-insulator complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (SOI CMOS) technology. A stacked field-effect-transistor (FET) architecture is elected in the output stage to boost the output power and reduce the die area. The PA with a core area of 0.31 mm2 demonstrates a maximum small signal gain of 13.7 dB and a −3 dB bandwidth of 6.3 GHz (22.9–29.2 GHz). The PA achieves a measured saturated output power (Psat) of 14.4 dBm and a peak power added efficiency (PAE) of 25% for continuous wave signals. At 24/25.6/28 GHz, the PA achieves +7.87/+9.16/+10.7 dBm measured output power and 6.21%/8.11%/10.17% PAE at −25 dBc error vector magnitude(EVM) for a 250 MHz-wide 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (64-QAM). The developed linear PA provides a great potential for low-cost 5G phased array transceivers.

“…Therefore, the antenna needs to be able to steer the beam to be able to provide access to mobile terminals and to communicate with other base stations in different directions. Such an electronically beam-steerable phased array is typically realized on printed-circuit board using 4-or 8channel vector modulator-based RF phase-shifter chips, see e.g., [11]. PCB transmission-line feed network is used to distribute the signal to phase shifters, which each feed 4 or 8 antenna elements.…”

Antenna is one of the most important single part of a wireless communications system and significantly affects the total energy consumption. Current mobile antennas can be inefficient in both converting radio energy to radiating waves and also focusing the radiated waves. The upcoming 5G introduces additional challenges to antennas but could also provide opportunities to use RF energy more efficiently. This paper discusses 5G antenna challenges and presents two potential antenna solutions for 5G mobile devices and one for mm-wave access points.

“…Rather than static antennas as in conventional sector‐oriented base stations, the objective with 5G communications is to install intelligent antennas with reconfiguration capabilities to make the most of the available resources and adapt to ever‐changing communication situations. To this end, phased arrays are attractive for the possibility of reorienting a high‐directivity beam to the user position and maximize the link budget 6 . Nevertheless, phased arrays provide only one beam and the required electronics for beam steering increase the antenna complexity, losses and cost.…”

A planar dielectric lens has been designed for low‐cost multi‐beam antennas in the 26‐GHz band of 5G communications. The lens feeder is a stacked‐patch microstrip antenna with four input ports, thus permitting four independent high‐directivity radiation beams. Maximum steering of 25° can be attained, which a simulated gain over 18 dB for all scanning angles. The antenna has been implemented with low‐cost manufacturing techniques. The feeder is fabricated as a printed circuit board, while the lens is realized as a perforated 3D‐printed dielectric piece. Experimental results confirm the multi‐beam capability of the lens system, suggesting that the spillover efficiency can be improved in further works.
