This work designs, simulates, and fabricates a millimeter-wave antenna array for a 5G base station to support the significant improvements that come with the new 5G technology. The work starts with 1x8 arrays with sizes of 64.21.2 mm² and 55x20.2 mm² for 28 and 38 GHz, respectively. The elements are then increased to 8x8 arrays with dimensions of 64x169 mm² for 28 GHz and 55x161.5 mm² for 38 GHz. The proposed design is further promoted to a 16x8 array antenna with dimensions of 74x255x0.508 mm³. This antenna configuration initially consists of an 8x8 series-fed array operating at 28 GHz and another 8x8 operating at 38 GHz, all implemented on a Rogers/RT 5880 substrate with εr=2.2. At 28 GHz and 38 GHz, the radiation efficiency was measured to be 97.6% and 96.8%, respectively, and the greatest actual gain was 24.7 dBi. Additionally, the antenna array significantly boosts gain. The antenna's performance spans a dual-band millimeter-wave spectrum operating at 28 38 GHz. Specifically, at 28 GHz, 8x8 arrays have a realized gain of 20.33 dBi, and at 38 GHz, the gain is 22.23 dBi. Moreover, for the antenna range, the model displays a symmetrical radiation pattern, and the side lobe level is diminished to -10.2 dB. Two simulation programs, MWSCST2020, and ANSYS HFSS19, are used to simulate these array antennas. The simulation results closely match the actual model performance. Furthermore, the antenna is measured using an Agilent R&S Z67 VNA.

W ramach tej pracy projektuje, symuluje i wytwarza układ anten wykorzystujących fale milimetrowe dla stacji bazowej 5G, aby wspierać znaczące ulepszenia wprowadzone w nowej technologii 5G. Prace rozpoczynają się od układów 1x8 o rozmiarach 64,21,2 mm² i 55x20,2 mm² odpowiednio dla 28 i 38 GHz. Elementy są następnie powiększane do macierzy 8x8 o wymiarach 64x169 mm² dla 28 GHz i 55x161,5 mm² dla 38 GHz. Proponowany projekt jest dalej promowany do anteny szeregowej 16x8 o wymiarach 74x255x0,508 mm³. Ta konfiguracja anteny początkowo składa się z układu zasilanego szeregowo 8x8 pracującego przy 28 GHz i kolejnego 8x8 pracującego przy 38 GHz, wszystkie zaimplementowane na podłożu Rogers/RT 5880 z εr=2,2. Dla częstotliwości 28 GHz i 38 GHz zmierzona efektywność promieniowania wyniosła odpowiednio 97,6% i 96,8%, a największe rzeczywiste wzmocnienie wyniosło 24,7 dBi. Dodatkowo układ anten znacznie zwiększa zysk. Wydajność anteny obejmuje dwuzakresowe widmo fal milimetrowych w paśmie 28–38 GHz. W szczególności przy 28 GHz macierze 8x8 mają zrealizowany zysk na poziomie 20,33 dBi, a przy 38 GHz zysk wynosi 22,23 dBi. Ponadto dla zasięgu anteny model wykazuje symetryczną charakterystykę promieniowania, a poziom listka bocznego jest obniżony do -10,2 dB. Do symulacji tych anten szeregowych służą dwa programy symulacyjne, MWSCST2020 i ANSYS HFSS19. Wyniki symulacji są ściśle zgodne z rzeczywistą wydajnością modelu. Ponadto antena jest mierzona za pomocą Agilent R&S Z67 VNA.
