Abstract
A compact design of multi-sector patch antenna array
for 60 GHz applications is presented and discussed in details. The
proposed design combines five 1×8 linear patch antenna arrays,
referred to as sectors, in a multi-sector configuration. The coaxial-fed
radiation elements of the multi-sector array are designed on 0.2 mm
Rogers RT5880 dielectrics. The array operates in the frequency range
of 58-62 GHz and provides switchable directional/omnidirectional
radiation beams with high gain and high directivity characteristics.
The designed multi-sector array exhibits good performances and
could be used in the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks.
