Abstract
Compact and low-cost antenna arrays with beam-steering or
beam-switching are needed for emerging millimeter-wave
communication systems such as 5G and WLAN at the 60 GHz
frequency band. The design, manufacturing and measurement
results for a 60 GHz beam-switching Rotman lens
integrated with a 4*8 patch antenna array are presented.
Active versions with integrated amplifiers are also
developed. The presented design can electrically switch
between five different beam directions -23°, -12°, 0°,
12° and 23°. Antenna gains of 8 dBi and 26.5 dBi are
measured at 60 GHz for passive and active beam-switching
Rotman lens antennas.
