Abstract :

The Rapid Evolution Of Fifth-generation (5G) Wireless Networks Has Significantly Increased The Demand For High-gain, Beam-steerable Antennas With Wide Bandwidth And Minimal Sidelobe Interference. Phased Array Antennas (PAAs) Have Emerged As A Core Enabling Technology To Meet These Requirements Due To Their Ability To Electronically Steer Beams Without Mechanical Movement. This Thesis Presents A MATLAB-based Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Framework For The Design, Simulation, And Performance Evaluation Of Phased Array Antennas Tailored For 5G Applications. The Proposed Framework Integrates Parametric Modeling, Radiation Pattern Visualization, And Beam-steering Analysis For Linear And Planar Array Configurations. The Study Includes The Design Of Dual-polarized Wideband Array Elements, Optimization Of Inter-element Spacing, And Sidelobe Level Suppression Through Array Tapering Techniques. Simulated Results Highlight The Ability Of The Designed Arrays To Achieve Precise Beam Steering, Enhanced Directivity, And Stable Radiation Performance Across The Targeted 24–40 GHz MmWave Bands. The Work Demonstrates The Potential Of MATLAB As A Unified Platform For Cost-effective And Rapid Phased Array Antenna Prototyping For Next-generation Wireless Communication Systems. Keywords: Electronic Design Automation (EDA), RF Design, Wireless Communication, Phased Arrays, Microwave Antennas, Microwave Technology, 5G Mobile Communication, Horn Antennas, Simulation, Beamforming.
