A beam-split metasurface antenna for 5G applications

This article presents a hybrid metasurface split beam antenna for fifth-generation (5G) mobile applications at 3.5 GHz. Multi-beam antennas with high directivity are required for a 5G mobile network. It can be achieved by having an array antenna. Using an antenna array at low frequency increases the...
