Abstract

A novel 3D scanning antenna is presented for 5G mobile wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna employs 8 phase shifters for a 16-element phased array. It provides a 3D scanning window of Phi from 165° to 200° and from 245 ° to 270 ° while Theta can go up to 20 °. The size of the antenna including the feeding network is 2.5cm × 2.5cm. The Antenna gain is 16.5dB at 30GHz, and the gain variation is less than 1dB over the scanning window.
