ResumenA low-cost solution for multi-beam antenna systems is explored for 5G applications in the 26-GHz band. A 4-port stacked-patch microstrip antenna is used as feeder of a perforated flat lens. Each feeder is placed in a different position with respect to the lens, yielding four high-directivity independent beams. The beams cover an angular range from broadside to a 30-degree steering with a gain over 18 dB. The antenna has been implemented by low-cost processes, employing Printed Circuit Board fabrication for the feeder and 3D printing for the lens.
