A 42-element microstrip parasitic patch antenna is developed in the millimeter-wave band for fifth-generation mobile communication base stations. A metalized elliptical stripline-to-embedded-microstrip transition with adaptive via-hole arrangement as well as a 20 dB Chebyshev tapered six-way power divider is proposed to have an insertion loss of 0.045 dB. To confirm the feasibility of the antenna, it has been measured to provide a 6.3% fractional bandwidth from 26.83 to 28.56 GHz at VSWR of less than 1.96. The array antenna gains of more than 21.4 dBi have been realized with sidelobe levels of better than -19.1 dB, operating within 27.5-28.5 GHz in both the azimuth and elevation directions.
