This paper presents a 64-element 28-GHz phasedarray transceiver for 5G communications based on 2×2 transmit/ receive (TRX) beamformer chips. Sixteen of the 2 × 2 TRX chips are assembled on a 12-layer printed circuit board (PCB) together with a Wilkinson combiner/divider network and 28-32-GHz stacked-patch antennas. The 64-element array results in 1.1 dB and 8.9° rms amplitude and phase error, respectively, with no calibration due to the symmetric design of the 2 × 2 beamformer chips and the PCB Wilkinson network. The effect of phase and amplitude mismatch between the 64 elements is analyzed and shown to have little impact on the 64-element array performance due to the averaging effects of phased arrays. Detailed pattern, effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP), and link measurements performed without any array calibration are presented and show the robustness of the symmetrical design technique. The phased array can scan to ±50° in azimuth (H-plane) and ±25° in elevation (E-plane) with low sidelobes and achieves a saturated EIRP of 52 dBm with 4-GHz 3-dB bandwidth. A 300-m wireless link is demonstrated with a recordsetting data rate of 8-12 Gb/s over all scan angles using two 64-element TRX arrays and 16-/64-QAM waveforms.
