    Abstract :

    5G with Millimeter Wave! The most anticipated future technology to be expected in the next decade for wireless communications. Demand for high data rates and large bandwidths and capacity took an insight focus at millimeter wave frequencies. However still several challenges need to be addressed to take live of this proposed system. One of such challenge is design of high gain and directive antenna with beam steering capabilities, In this paper we present designed, simulated and fabricated patch antenna and linear antenna array for V-band. The patch antenna and its linear array design is modeled and simulated in matlab and the results showed that the achieved gain is about 10 dBi with good directivity, and beam steering of ± 250 which can be appropriate model for 5G small cell cellular communications. The fabricated model also showed satisfactory matching results with the modeled and simulated design.
