This Letter presents an electromagnetic modelling of an active integrated antenna array for 5G mobile communication. Here, the authors propose a functional method for active-integrated antenna array synthesis, based on the method of moments combined with the generalised equivalent circuit (MoM-GEC) in conjunction with a genetic algorithm for the synthesis of a 2D array with switched phase states. Their design strategy is applied to search for the optimal phase matrix with a directional beam and minimum side-lobe level.
