Abstract

This article investigates how beam steering makes the antenna intelligent by increasing channel capacity, range, and reducing interference to enhance the gain of a rectangular patch array antenna for the 5G application using a novel double negative metamaterial (DNG). Beam-steering antennas are the ideal solution for a variety of system applications; it is mostly achieved using phased arrays, where phase shifters are used to control the main-beam. In this paper, the pin-diode phase shifters were considered. ”ON” and ”OFF” states provide phase shift due to different current paths. The main beam direction can be switched between the angles of 25 degrees with a 3dB beamwidth of 23 degrees. The metamaterial structure is composed of 8x8 mm on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 with 0. 254mm thickness and dielectric constant of 2.2. The proposed phase array antenna has four microstrip patch with a thickness of 0. 0175mm printed on the same Rogers RT-duroid substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.2 with dimensions of 5.40 mm x3.94 mm. The phased array antenna without metamaterial structure presented a directivity of 14. 8dBi.Gain increase to 16. 6dBi upon placing the metamaterial structure at a distance 24. 3mm.

基于移相器的超材料波束导向增强贴片阵列天线的增益

本文研究了波束转向如何通过增加信道容量、范围和减少干扰来提高用于5G应用的矩形贴片阵列天线的增益，从而使天线智能化，该天线使用新型双负超材料(DNG)。波束导向天线是各种系统应用的理想解决方案;它主要是通过相控阵实现的，其中相移器被用来控制主波束。本文研究了pin-diode移相器。“ON”和“OFF”状态由于不同的电流路径提供相移。主波束方向可以在25度的角度之间切换，3dB波束宽度为23度。超材料结构由8x8mm的Rogers RT/duroid 5880组成。254mm厚度，介电常数为2.2。所提出的相控阵天线具有四个微带贴片，其厚度为0。0175毫米印刷在相同的Rogers RT-duroid衬底上，介电常数为2.2，尺寸为5.40 mm x3.94 mm。无超材料结构的相控阵天线的指向性为14。8 dbi。增益增加到16。将超材料结构放置在距离24的位置时，可获得6dBi。3毫米。
