Abstract

A high gain and low side lobe pencil beam 8×8 antenna array using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) operating at 28 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is designed. The antenna array consists of multilayer structure with a microstrip feed network to feed SIW having slot. The feed network is implemented using Taylor distribution for low side lobe level in one plane and same distribution is also applied on series fed patch antenna elements to get low side lobe level in both planes. The antenna array provides a bandwidth of 1.6 GHz with a maximum gain of 20.3 dBi at 28.5 GHz. It provides side lobe level of less than -17.3 dB in both X-Z and Y-Z planes at 28.5 GHz. The simulated and measured results of the antenna array are in good agreement. The proposed antenna features low cost, high gain, and high efficiency, making it a potential candidate for 5G applications.
