In this letter, a time-efficient method based on machine learning (ML) is proposed to predict the maximum PD of mm-wave antennas in real handsets. By training various typical antenna arrays, a mapping relationship is established between the near-field distributions of the antenna array in real handsets and those of the stand-alone array. With this mapping, the maximum PD of any mm-wave array in a real handset can be quickly predicted by simulating the PD of the corresponding stand-alone array. The method has been verified on several 4 × 1 arrays commonly used in 5G mobile handsets, showing accurate prediction of the maximum PD. The proposed method can be applied to mm-wave arrays of any type and significantly reduces the evaluation time.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18562,"journal":{"name":"Microwave and Optical Technology Letters","volume":"67 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143110876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coupling effects between radiative and non-radiative resonators are thoroughly analyzed with proposed equivalent circuit models. Within its passband, the continuous phase changes between two radiators are discussed in detail. To obtain an in-phase superposition between two radiators at central frequency, the original half-wavelength non-radiative resonator is prolonged to one wavelength. Meanwhile, the phase shifting between two radiators yields a continuous beam steering performance in the passband. With the help of the proposed circuit model, the conditions for obtaining the maximum radiation gain, the key factors affecting the antenna bandwidth, and the prediction of the scanning range are discussed. The proposed method can indeed benefit the entire design procedure quantitatively rather than qualitatively. Finally, a prototype is demonstrated and fabricated. The results show that a third-order filtering antenna is successfully designed with a relatively high gain of 9.84 dBi and a wide frequency scanning range of −29° to 21°.
