Abstract

In this paper, a phased array antenna is designed at millimeter-wave frequency bands for future 5G based smartphone applications. The proposed antenna is a novel open slot-PIFA antenna made on a low cost FR4 board. The antenna array covers a frequency range of 26-32 GHz with a bandwidth of 6 GHz. The antenna exhibits a very good radiation pattern when integrated with the mobile phone chassis. The 8 - element antenna array exhibits a maximum gain around 13 dBi. The pattern can be steered by varying the phase shift at each antenna element.
