Characterization of Millimeter Wave Phased Array Antennas in Mobile Terminal for 5G Mobile System

Summary, in English

This paper presents a characterization method for

millimeter wave (mmWave) phased array antennas in the mobile

terminal for 5G communication. Arrays of different antenna

designs, operating at 28 GHz, are evaluated according to novel

characterization methods in this context - the total scan pattern

of the phased array and its respective coverage efficiency. The

results show the relevance of evaluating antenna array designs

according to these characteristics, and illustrate, by introducing

pattern diversity through sub-array schemes, that the coverage

efficiency can be enhanced.
