With the growing 5G telecom and transmission technologies development, there has been increasing interest and rapid demand in millimeter-wave antennas and devices for use in diverse applications, services and technologies such as short-range communication, mm-wave mobile communication cellular networks, and sensor and imaging systems.
Due to the corresponding smaller wavelength, mm-wave frequencies offer the advantage of physically smaller antennas and circuits as well as the availability of much wider bandwidth compared to microwave frequencies. Furthermore they provide additional spectrum for wireless communications: mm-wave is able to support the needed high data rate capacity and speed for high definition video streaming used in Wireless Personal Area Networks. The 5G cellular networks base stations and mobile devices will essentially make use of mm-wave frequency bands to meet consumers' ever growing demand for high data rate and capacity from wireless service providers.
How to design and manufacture the correspondent antennas become a vital topic for the RF engineers in system integrators. A new method for mmWave antennas and components has been presented at the 2020 European conference on Antennas and Propagation. The technology involved offers a low-cost, mass-producible solution targeting 5G and beyond 5G applications. Read the full proposal here:
