Abstract
The purpose of this research work is to design a phase shifter and antenna for integration into a 60 GHz phased array transceiver designed specifically for 5G applications. A phased array transceiver consists of an active device (e.g. amplifier), phased array matrix, and antenna. This thesis focuses on the design of a 60 GHz phased antenna array with no active device. A butler matrix is implemented for the phased array matrix. In the methodology part, the development process of the butler matrix and patch antenna is presented.
In this study, various types of beamforming networks are examined and written in the literature review section. The fundamental components of the Butler matrix are systematically designed, showing each step of the process. At the implementation step, CST software was used. Design is implemented on a substrate material known as Rogers RT/duroid 5880, with a 0.127 mm thickness. The results indicate the good reflection coefficient at the operating frequency of 60 GHz. Proposed design with patch antenna results in four orthogonal beams, each directed at +5°, +37°, -37°, and −5°.
