Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of the fifth generation communication technology (5G), the communication industry has been working on the standardization of the 5G millimeter wave communication system. According to the definition of 5G communication frequency band by the federal communications commission in the united states, 5G introduces a millimeter wave frequency band with wider bandwidth in addition to the conventional frequency band below 6G. Currently, 11 candidate frequency bands in the range between 24.25GHz and 86GHz have been considered for 5G millimeter wave communication systems. However, due to the characteristics of electromagnetic waves, the path loss of millimeter waves will be exponentially attenuated as the transmission distance increases. To cope with such high path loss, a high-gain antenna is required at both the mobile side and the base station side. Therefore, multi-antenna arrays with high gain are of interest. One of the main features of such an antenna system is called beamforming, which is to control the main radiation direction of the antenna by adjusting the amplitude and phase of each antenna element to achieve the requirement of spatial coverage. In addition, in a typical indoor propagation channel, the received power of the mobile terminal depends to a large extent on the polarization directions of the transmitter and receiver antennas. Measurements have shown that up to 10dB difference can be achieved between different antenna polarization combinations. Therefore, a multi-polarized antenna is required to adapt to channel variations and keep the received power at as high a level as possible at all times.
