摘要
A 2x2 active array module at 28 GHz is presented targeting 5G handset applications. The module was designed using a four-layer PCB stack and large-size vias to reduce overall manufacturing costs. Its implementation choices are described, and over-the-air measurements were performed to demonstrate its beam steering capabilities and maximum EIRP of +34.6 dBm was achieved at 26 GHz.
