Synopsis

In this talk, some research advances in multibeam array antennas for 5G massive MIMO systems in the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves (SKLMMW), Southeast University, are reviewed, including the principle and prototypes of full-digital multibeam arrays, hybrid multibeam arrays, passive multibeam arrays in sub-6GHz (3.5GHz and 5GHz bands) and millimeter wave bands (26GHz, 38GHz, and 45GHz bands). The advantages and drawbacks of the different types of multibeam arrays are also discussed.
