Abstract
In this paper, a concept for a modular 5G beam-forming antenna array is introduced. The array consists of small tiles of planar 2x2 antenna sub-arrays. Each tile contains four patch antennas, a beamformer integrated circuit (BF-IC) and all other components needed to operate the BF-IC in a multilayer package. To build larger beamforming antenna arrays multiple tiles can be combined and placed on a control board. This modular concept leads to highly scalable solutions needed e.g. for various upcoming 5G pico-cell base stations.
