Antenna for 5G and Beyond

5G system needs to cater for an extremely high bandwidth starting from below 1 GHz to 100 GHz based on different deployments. This encourages the demand for low-cost and compact antennas that can cover a broad bandwidth in microwave and mmWave domains. Developing such small broadband antenna systems can take advantage of massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology. This technology equips the base stations (5G macro cells) with arrays of very large number of antennas and thereby forms the advanced antenna systems (AAS). Our lab is dedicated to the research of developing such smart high gain antenna arrays and their beamforming, in order to ensure simultaneous transmission of data to multiple users.
