Abstract

This paper summarizes an investigation around millimeter-wave (mmWave) multimode circular antenna array based beamformer capable of specially encoded data transmission in a wide coverage area. The circular antenna array is capable of an entire 360° azimuth sector coverage where broad-cast, uni-cast and multi-cast radio transmissions are possible. Orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode transmission along the elevation axis, i.e., perpendicular to the azimuth plane, can also be achieved. These two types of spatially encoded beamforming makes coverage in almost an entire hemisphere possible. The circular array is developed using twelve multilayer patch antennas with unique radiation performance aiding in both azimuth and elevation radiation. The proposed array architecture and its radiation performance makes it a good candidate for spatially encoded beamforming for mmWave 5G.
