High freqency antenna for 5G
We have designed and evaluated a millimeter-wave-compatible 4x4 array antenna for 5G in an industry-university joint research with Kyushu University, and submitted the results to IEEE for publication.
Outline
Patch antennas are frequently used in broadband communications such as 28 GHz. However, patch antennas have a large GND metal and require a thick dielectric substrate, and this size becomes a bottleneck when pursuing further miniaturization of IoT devices. Therefore, in a previous joint research with Kyushu University, we designed and evaluated a 4x4 beamforming array antenna using a one-sided directional slot antenna with the same performance, which has an upper antenna layer, a lower floating metal, and a thin dielectric substrate without a large GND metal layer. The results were obtained and are summarized in the paper.
