Abstract

A massive MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) antenna system for 5G base stations is developed, featuring 240 elements and 60 ports. The system supports two modes: individual port operation and network operation. It has a rectangular shape with dimensions of 28×16.8×0.32 cm³ and consists of three layers per side, with 15 ports per layer. Each port contains a 2×2 patch sub-array operating at 3.5 GHz, with beam tilting to generate uncorrelated radiation patterns. The system provides a measured bandwidth of 252 MHz, covering the 3.39–3.64 GHz band. Gain and envelope correlation coefficients are evaluated according to mMIMO parameters. A prototype is fabricated, and the results obtained through CST simulations are validated by experimental measurements.
