title: Phased antenna arrays toward 5G

description: An antenna array for 5G has to be able to create multibeam (approximately dozens or hundreds of beams), wide azimuthal coverage (approximately 360°), and  high gain (>20 dB). The analyses of four kinds of multibeam phased arrays, namely a multibeam ULA analog phased array (MULA-analog-PA), multibeam ULA digital  phased array (MULA-digital-PA), multibeam cylindrical digital phased array (MCdigital-PA), and multibeam cylindrical analog phased array (MC-analog-PA), are  performed. The analyses show that all arrays could provide multibeam with different complexities and computations but MULA-analog-PA and MULA-digital-PA are  with maximum 180° of azimuthal coverage; whereas MC-analog-PA and MCdigital-PA are with unlimited azimuthal angle. The simulations of the MC-analogPA with 32 x 10 elements (10 rings with each ring of 32 elements) show that the array could provide 32 beams symmetrical over 3600 azimuthal coverage with the directivity of 27 dB. The obtained results proved the effectiveness of the phased array antennas for 5G applications.
