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. date: 2020-09 date_type: published publisher: IntechOpen full_text_status: public refereed: FALSE isbn: 978-1-83968-346-6 book_title: Radio Frequency Antenna for 5G, IOT and Medical Applications citation: Tran, Cao Quyen (2020) Phased antenna arrays toward 5G.
