Abstract
This paper presents a new design concept of a beam steerable high gain phased array antenna based on WR28 waveguide at 29 GHz frequency for fifth generation (5G) full dimension multiple input multiple output (FD-MIMO) system. The 8×8 planar phased array is fed by a three dimensional beamformer to obtain volumetric beam scanning ranging from -60 to +60 degrees both in azimuth and elevation direction. Beamforming network (BFN) is designed using 16 set of 8×8 Butler matrix beamformer to get 64 beam states, which control the horizontal and vertical angle. This is a new concept to design waveguide based high power three-dimensional beamformer for volumetric multibeam in Ka band for 5G application. The maximum gain of phased array is 28.5 dBi that covers 28.9 GHz to 29.4 GHz frequency band.Keywords
