Abstract-A novel method of achieving low-profile, broadband microstrip array antennas with high antenna gain is proposed for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications. The element employs a novel 3 rd -order vertically coupled resonant structure that a U-slot resonator in the ground is used to couple with the feeding resonator and the radiating patch, simultaneously. This proposed structure can significantly improve the bandwidth and frequency selectivity without increasing the thickness of the antenna. Then, to achieve the subarray, a new wideband power divider with loaded resonators is employed, which can be used to further improve the bandwidth. To demonstrate the working schemes of broadside radiation and scanned beam, two 4 × 4 array antennas are implemented on the same board. Measured results agree well with the simulations, showing a wide bandwidth from 22 to 32 GHz (FBW = 37%) with the gain of around 19 dBi. The beam scanning array can realize a scanning angle of over 25 degrees over a broadband. In addition, due to the filtering features are integrated in the design, the proposed antenna could also reduce the complexity and potential cost of the frontends.Index Terms-Broadband, beam scanning, filtering, millimeter-wave, antenna array, antenna, 5G. I. INTRODUCTIONThe emerging fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication has attracted intensive research interests in academia and industry because of its huge potentials such as high data rate and significant reduction of digital traffic [1]- [2]. In the 5G era, lots of things such as electronic devices, vehicles and the equipment in the offices and homes will be wirelessly connected through the Internet. Users will be able to access ultra-high-definition (UHD) multimedia streaming and services such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) [2]. All these potential services will inevitably demand a very wide bandwidth to support the extremely high data rate in 5G wireless communication. The millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency band is widely believed to be a good candidate to realize a wideband operation.For mm-wave applications, other problems to be concerned are the higher transmission loss and link stability, which could be overcome by increasing the gain and adopting the adaptive directional beam [2]. Massive MIMO base station is a promising technique for improving the capacity and service quality by accurately concentrating the transmitted energy to the mobile users [3]- [5], as the architecture shown in Fig. 1. The massive MIMO antenna has multiple antenna subarrays in two dimensions and each can adaptively direct the beams to the users in azimuth and elevation directions. Thanks to each subarray is composed of n × n radiation elements, high antenna gain and steerable beam can be achieved. Due to the short wavelength at mm-waves and limited coverage of each 5G cellular, the mm-wave base-station antennas with low cost, low profile and light weight will be in huge demand in urban areas.To date, several mm-wave antennas have been reported for 5G commun...

In this paper an omnidirectional dual band monopole antenna at 28 GHz and 60 GHz which is fit for indoor and outdoor wireless applications is developed. The proposed antenna consists of two rectangular patches with a T folded patch. The design, analysis, and optimization processes through this article are executed by the numerical method, Finite Element Method (FEM) and verified with another numerical method, Finite integration Technique (FIT). Good agreement between the results by these two simulators is obtained. The proposed antenna has achieved dual bands with omnidirectional patterns. The first band at 28 GHz is extended from 27.5 GHz to 28.958 GHz with 5.1 % bandwidth and total efficiency of more than 93% along the entire band which serves the LMDS band. The second band at 60 GHz is extended from 45.2 GHz to 84.4 GHz which serves the WiGig band with bandwidth of 60.6% and total efficiency of 85.5% along the entire band. The proposed antenna performance makes it a good candidate for the fifth generation (5G) applications.

A planar and compact substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity backed antenna and a 2 × 2 multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) antenna are presented in this study. The proposed antenna is fed by a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) to SIW type transition and planned to be used for millimeter‐wave (mm‐wave) fifth generation (5G) wireless communications that operates at 28, 38, 45, and 60 GHz frequency bands. Moreover, the measured impedance bandwidth (|S11| ≤ − 10 dB) of the antenna covers 27.55 to 29.36, 37.41 to 38.5, 44.14 to 46.19, and 57.57 to 62.32 GHz bands and confirms the quad‐band characteristic. Omni‐directional radiation characteristics are observed in the far‐field radiation pattern measurements of the antenna over the entire operating frequency. The reported antenna is compact in size (9.7 × 13.3 × 0.6 mm3) and the gain values at each resonance frequency are measured as 3.26, 3.28, 3.34, and 4.51 dBi, respectively. Furthermore, the MIMO antenna performance is evaluated in terms of isolation, envelope correlation coefficient and diversity gain.
