Abstract
Development of a very low-profile planar antenna that can radiate in the near endfire direction over a wide bandwidth is of great interest for application to 5G communication systems. This paper presents a shorted trapezoidal microstrip patch antenna element with near endfire radiation and a null in the boresight direction for use in a beam-steerable endfire array. The antenna is matched over 10% bandwidth centered at 31.2 GHz. Maximum gain of 8 dBi occurs around θ = 60°, ϕ = 90°. The difference between radiation in the endfire direction and broadside direction is nearly 35 dB. Simulation results are presented.
