Abstract
In fifth-generation (5G) communication, the RF lens antenna is introduced with advantages of high antenna gain and low hardware cost in analog/digital hybrid beamforming technology. In this paper, we design and manufacture the appropriate RF lens antenna for mmWave communication identified in simulation analysis and present a real-time mmWave lens MIMO testbed. Furthermore, in conventional phase-shift MIMO, beam-squint, a problem caused by the wideband of mmWave communication, is estimated with the fabricated RF lens antenna.
