“…Compared with the 1 × 2 array antennas, 20,22 the proposed SIW 1 × 2 array antenna has higher antenna gain and a smaller design area and achieves a wider proportional bandwidth. Compared to the 1 × 3 and 1 × 4 array antennas of references 21, 23, 24, it has a wider fractional bandwidth and smaller design area than reference 21, and a higher or similar antenna gain than references 23, 24. The antenna proposed in this paper has compact and planar characteristics that meet the commercial requirements of integration capability and ease of fabrication, and has excellent characteristics in antenna bandwidth and gain performance, which makes it very suitable for antenna design in the millimeter wave band.…”

This article proposes a Ka‐band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) quasi‐Yagi array antenna with the advantages of thinness, compactness, wide bandwidth, and higher gain. Analyzing the microstrip‐to‐SIW transition structure to confirm that the designed structure provides the best performance, the optimum reflectance coefficient bandwidth can be obtained. With the optimized rectangular etched slot structure at the antenna end, the impedance matching can be tuned to improve the bandwidth. The designed array antenna is fabricated and measured for verification. The substrate is based on Al2O3 ceramic and the antenna size is 23.3 mm 13 mm 0.5 mm. The measurement results indicate that the antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth of 13.59% below −10dB, with an average gain of approximately 7 dBi and a peak gain of 7.4 dBi in 28.1–32.2 GHz. Therefore, the 1*2 antenna proposed in this paper has the advantages of compact and planar structure, easy fabrication, and easy integration into RF circuits, which is very suitable for Ka‐Band applications.

“…On the other hand, a planar end-fire antenna, such as a printed dipole or printed Yagi antenna [10,12,23,[29][30][31][32][33][34] would have a high front-to-back ratio and radiate most of the energy toward the base station. However, both types of antennas would have a significantly large footprint, as the space near the transmission lines would be unusable [35][36][37][38][39][40]. Hence, a corner bent unidirectional antenna design is proposed in this section.…”

Typically, users engage with smartphones in either single-hand or dual-hand mode. To design antennas that operate at 28 GHz and have high pattern integrity for both modes of operation, an orthogonal beam switching module is required as a single phased-arrays would fail. First, a corner bent corporate fed array operating at 28 GHz is proposed, which has a forward gain of 8.5 dBi and a high-front-to-back ratio of 20 dB. Second, a corner bent printed Yagi antenna that also operates in the 28 GHz band is proposed. Both the corner bent antennas are compatible with the panel edge of commercial smartphones. The radiation from both antennas is mostly directed away from the user. A corner bent co-polarized orthogonal beam switching module is presented and characterized. The antenna module also has a shared ground, making it a potential candidate for future 5G smartphones. Detailed results are presented with adequate justification.

“…In addition to the aforementioned antenna structures, shorted-patch antennas can also generate VP while maintaining a low profile. Parasitic structures are used to improve the endfire directivity in [27], [28] and enhance the impedance bandwidth [29], [30]. A circularly polarized antenna is proposed by combining the magnetic dipole (shorted patch) and electric dipole [31].…”

In this article, a dual-polarized (DP) endfire antenna array is proposed for the 5G smartphone applications. The antenna covers all five defined millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequency bands, namely n257, n258, n259, n260, and n261, which are used for mobile communications. Electrical dipole antenna is used to achieve the horizontal polarization (HP), and a parasitic element is included for bandwidth enhancement. A shortedpatch antenna functions as a magnetic dipole facilitating the vertical polarization (VP). Additionally, the broadband operation is realized by a novel stacked structure consisting of two different shorted patches. A four-element antenna array is implemented with overall size of 22.6 × 5 × 1.6 mm 3 . The operating frequency band of the proposed antenna array spans from 24 to 44 GHz with −10-dB reflection coefficient for both polarizations. The isolation between the array elements remains above 13 dB across the entire frequency band of interest. The peak realized gain varies from 8.4 to 10 dBi, and the spherical coverage at cdf = 100% and cdf = 50% of EIRP are 22.5 and 12.5 dBm, respectively. The measurement results of the fabricated antenna array agree well with the simulation results.
