研究目的
Investigating the feasibility of using a waveguide-fed millimeter wave metasurface antenna with LCD controlled array factor for 5G user equipment to simplify structure and control compared to traditional phased arrays.
研究成果
The preliminary design of a 28 GHz waveguide-fed LCD controlled metasurface antenna presents a simpler and potentially smaller alternative to traditional phased arrays for 5G mmW communication, capable of effective beam forming with a maximum gain of around 16.7 dB.
研究不足
The design's reliance on waveguide technology, while offering lower transmission loss, may limit size reduction compared to microstrip alternatives. The feasibility of LCD control in practical UE applications needs further validation.
