Miniaturized Wide Scanning Angle Phased Array Using EBG Structure for 5G Applications by Xiumei Shen, Kun Xue, Xinggang Tang, Yuqi He

“…A subarray of two closely packed patch antennas on electromagnetic bandgap structure (EBG) ground with the operating bandwidth of 26–29 GHz is used as the basic module of the linear array, which contains four equally spaced subarrays. The existence of the EBG ground enables the array to be compact in size (3.2 × 0.6 × 0.12λL3), yet the mutual coupling between each element can reach to more than 22 dB within the whole band of interest. …”
