ABSTRACT
Recently, there has been significant interest in performing research on millimeter wave (mmWave) communications. However, there do not exist any mmWave radio platforms with phased arrays available to the networking community. All existing mmWave platforms use horn antennas which require mechanical steering and are not suitable for non-static links or multi-user networks. We have built MiRa: a full-fledged mmWave radio with phased arrays capable of beam steering. MiRa operates as a daughterboard for the USRP software radio which enables easy manipulation of mmWave signals using standard GNU-radio software. With its reconfigurable architecture, steerable phased arrays and open SDR platform, MiRa can help advance mmWave research in the mobile and networking community.

Multiband antenna design with high gain and robust spherical coverage using a new 3D phased array structure for 5G mobile phone MM-wave applications
AbstractThis manuscript presents a compact multi-band antenna with simple and small geometry dedicated to the millimeter-wave 5G wireless systems. The single antenna has been carefully designed on Rogers RT5880 laminate with a full dimension of 5 × 6 × ...
Wideband microstrip-fed tapered slot antennas and phased array: Research Articles
Two wideband tapered slot antennas are designed, fabricated, and tested. The first antenna, which is fabricated on a high dielectric constant substrate (ϵr = 10.2), shows a measured return loss of better than 10 dB from 1.6 to 12.4 GHz (7.7:1 bandwidth), ...
Beam-Steerable Ultra-Wide-Band Miniaturized Elliptical Phased Array Antenna Using Inverted-L-Shaped Modified Inset Feed and Defected Ground Structure for 5G Smartphones Millimeter-Wave Applications
AbstractMulti Input Multi Output (MIMO) and phased array systems are considered a key technologies to realize the 5G communication systems. Therefore, the purpose of this research is the suggestion of a novel mm-wave Ultrawide Band (UWB) antenna design ...
