Abstract

In order to meet the demands of 5G NR/FR-2 wireless networks frequency bands, it is crucial to develop super wideband (SWB) phased array antennas with wide-scan and advanced beam steering capabilities for high speed data transmissions. This research focuses on a new beam-steerable phased array architecture that offers a broad bandwidth for 5G Body Area Networks and wireless IoT devices. The proposed phased array design consists of eight radiators arranged in an 8x1 linear shape, each equipped with separate small strip-line feedings. The proposed antenna array, composed on a substrate of Rogers RT6002, measures 64 mm by 9.51 mm by 1.52 mm in physical dimensions. This design offers a straightforward design approach, low complexity profile, wide impedance bandwidth, and stable characteristics, with a simulated operational frequency span from 21GHz - 50 GHz and a super bandwidth of 29GHz with a -10 dB threshold.
