Linear Array; Phase Shifters; Phased Array; Radiation Pattern; Microstrip Antenna; Beam Direction.Abstract
The beam-steering antenna is crucial and extensively used in communication systems. This communication presents the design of a 28 GHz beam-steering phased array antenna for 5G millimeter-wave applications. The aim of this project is to examine and deploy a phase shifter in a linear antenna array for angular scanning. The proposed array antenna has four microstrip patch antenna components, with each feed port coupled to a phase shifter. The primary mechanism of radiation arises from the activation of elements in succession with varying phase delays. The emitted beam may be directed in various orientations based on the initial excitation of the components. In the first instance, three-dimensional radiation is emitted at a 0° phase. The second configuration achieves commendable scanning performance throughout a range of ±10° to ±40°, with an acceptable side lobe level and a gain of 12.1 dB.
