  • Abstract
    This paper presents a characterization method for millimeter wave (mmWave) phased array antennas in the mobile terminal for 5G communication. Arrays of different antenna designs, operating at 28 GHz, are evaluated according to novel characterization methods in this context - the total scan pattern of the phased array and its respective coverage efficiency. The results show the relevance of evaluating antenna array designs according to these characteristics, and illustrate, by introducing pattern diversity through sub-array schemes, that the coverage efficiency can be enhanced.
