Ojaroudi Parchin and H. Jahanbakhsh Basherlou and Y. Al-Yasir and A. M. Abdulkhaleq and R. A. Abd-Alhameed and P. S. Excell}, country = {}, institution = {}, 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 1x8 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. }, journal = {International Journal of Information and Communication Engineering}, volume = {14}, number = {2}, year = {2020}, pages = {50 - 54}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011069}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/158}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 158, 2020}, }
