A broadband and high-gain substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-fed antenna array is demonstrated for 5G applications. Aperture coupling is adopted as the interconnecting method in the twolayer SIW feeding network. Two pairs of metallic posts act as dipoles and are surrounded by an air-filled cavity. The height of the cavity is designed to be higher than that of the posts to broaden the bandwidth. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed 8×8 antenna array is 16.3% from 35.4 to 41.7 GHz for |S11| ≤ -10 dB, and the measured peak gain is 26.7 dBi at 40 GHz. The measured radiation efficiency of the antenna array is 83.2% at 40 GHz. The proposed antenna array which is suitable for 5G applications at 37 and 39 GHz bands shows stable radiation patterns, high gain, and broad bandwidth.
