“…At resonance frequencies, the bioinspired flower-shape antenna presents gain very close to the one observed in the circular-shape, with a difference of 1.04 dBi, however, with the insertion of one more element of same dimension, there is an increase in the power gain (3.11 dBi), which shows an expected behavior for an antenna array [5], which results in a maximum gain of 8.83 dBi. The gain observed in the aperture-coupled antenna is compatible with that shown in other works for the 60 GHz frequency range, where gains of 3 to 14 dBi can be verified depending on the type of coupling structure used [22][23][24].

“…In [23] it was proposed a 4x4 aperture-coupled patch antenna array with peak gain reaching 21.4 dBi at 60 GHz band. A low-cost aperture-coupled patch antenna, using the standard printed circuit board (PCB) process, was proposed for the 60-GHz-phased array antenna in [24], with measured peak gain of 6.9 dBi at 62 GHz for the single antenna, and measured peak gain from 4 to 7.5 dBi across all four IEEE 802.15.3c channels, for each antenna element, within the frequency range from 57.2 up to 64.5 GHz.…”

A flower-shape bio-inspired aperture-coupled antenna array for on-chip application, generated by Gielis formula, operating in industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band at 60 GHz (57 GHZ to 64 GHz) is presented in this paper. The antenna proposed is composed of a transmission feed line followed by an aperture and patch element built in aluminum, with 2 micrometers of thickness, lying on two layers of silicon with 200 micrometers of thickness each. Dimensions of the antennas were calculated according to the effective wavelength for the resonance frequency at 60 GHz. Simulations were performed in the commercial software ANSYS® Electronics Desktop. The use of the bio-inspired flower-shape promotes more compact structures with greater perimeter, rearranging these shapes into an antenna array provided a gain and a bandwidth increase in the design, 3.11dBi and 2.86GHz, respectively, which resulted in a maximum gain of 8.82 dBi and a total bandwidth of 5.88 GHz.

“…Therefore, the proposed array antenna is a promising candidate for the mm-wave 5G small cell applications. Table 2 summarizes the performance of this work and compares it with state-of-the-art mm-wave phased-array antennas [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. The proposed patch shows around an 8.5 dBi antenna gain, which is better than [ 31 , 35 , 37 , 38 ], at a similar frequency.…”

In this paper, a low cost 28 GHz Antenna-in-Package (AIP) for a 5G communication system is designed and investigated. The antenna is implemented on a low-cost FR4 substrate with a phase shift control integrated circuit, AnokiWave phasor integrated circuit (IC). The unit cell where the array antenna and IC are integrated in the same plate constructs a flexible phase array system. Using the AIP unit cell, the desired antenna array can be created, such as 2 × 8, 8 × 8 or 2 × 64 arrays. The study design proposed in this study is a 2 × 2 unit cell structure with dimensions of 18 mm × 14 mm × 0.71 mm. The return loss at a 10 dB bandwidth is 26.5–29.5 GHz while the peak gain of the unit cell achieved 14.4 dBi at 28 GHz.

A Cost-Effective Antenna-in-Package Design With a 4 × 4 Dual-Polarized High Isolation Patch Array for 5G mmWave Applications

A cost-effective antenna-in-package design based on a 4 × 4 dual-polarized high isolation patch array for 5G mmWave applications is proposed in this paper. To obtain a cost-effective design, we devised a four-layer metal stack-up structure with dielectric materials consisting of one TLY-5 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and two FR-4 epoxies. The devised stack-up exhibits a simple and compact geometry due to the small number of layers, which allows the design to be manufactured using a low-priced standard printed-circuit-board process. Additionally, the employed material combination in the stack-up design possesses a high-end PTFE only in the region with the antenna radiators, which enables good antenna radiation performance at an affordable price. In addition, to design a high-isolation patch array for dual-polarized applications using the low-layer stack-up structure, we employed capacitive probes, defected ground structures, and the rotated-fed method in the proposed array design. With these techniques, the designed array exhibited excellent performance with respect to both port-to-port isolation and crosspolarization isolation. The mechanism of improvement in port-to-port isolation was clearly described using the established equivalent circuit model of the proposed structure. As a result, the fabricated antenna-inpackage has the reflection coefficients of less than -10 dB in the targeted frequency range of 26.5-29.5 GHz and has a peak gain of 17.37 dBi at 28 GHz. The measured port-to-port isolations and crosspolarization isolations are higher than 22.63 and 30 dB in the targeted frequency band, respectively.INDEX TERMS 5G mm-Wave, antenna in package (AiP), capacitive probe, defected ground structure (DGS), dual-polarized patch antennas
