Abstract
In this study, the thermal management problem of the modern communication systems with small array sizes is addressed. A novel dual-functional active antenna design strategy is introduced for adjustable frequency of operation and cooling extension at millimeter-wave bands. The concept is based on placing different types of heatsinks on the same patch antenna. The electromagnetic and thermal behavior of the proposed heatsink structures are presented via simulations. Reconfigurable operation at 24, 26, and 28 GHz frequencies with 23 to 28 degrees of extra cooling in the chip as compared to the conventional patch is achieved.
