5G networks promised to provide increased coverage, capacity and end-user throughput. Advanced antenna radiating system plays a very important role for the establishment of 5G networks. In this work, a novel low size profile enforced terminating boundary patch antenna array is proposed. This antenna array achieves a Hybrid beam steering with a low size through PI axis posts up to 33%. The antenna has a three-layer structure where a single layer PTFE composite based Rogers 5880 is utilized with a dimension of 15× 16 mm2. It operates at frequency band of 35 GHz with a wide bandwidth of 530 MHz and with a mean return loss of -28 dB. This radiating device is designed with the microstrip feed for the massive-MIMO 5G requirements.
