Millimeter Wave Antenna for Information Shower: Design Choices and Performance

This paper describes the results of the investigations related to the design and test of an array antenna prototype to be used in an information shower to be implemented at the gates of a stadium and enabling the fast download of huge amount of data by the people entering/going out. The antenna operates at mm-wave in order to provide an extremely high bit rate. The activity has been conducted within the 5G-MiEdge project, a joint EU-Japan research project that investigates the combined usage of mm-wave access and MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) so as to enable very high speed and low latency communications in 5G.
