Abstract:
In this paper, a new multi-beam high gain antenna array for Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting (RF-EH) applications in 5G network is presented which consists of 4 sub-antenna arrays (2 x 2) in order to increase the gain and directivity. The sub-antenna array covers the two 5G network bands (3.5 GHz and 26/28 GHz) with gains of 3 dB and 6 dB respectively. The proposed antenna array is studied and simulated for the 26/28 GHz band. The gain reaches 12 dB at 26 GHz and 15 dB at 27.5 GHz. The simulated efficiency of this antenna is of 78%. The antenna is designed on Teflon glass substrate with a relative permittivity of 2.1 and 0.67 mm of thickness. It total dimension is of 65 x 55 mm². These gain values satisfy the beam forming technology adopted by 5G network
