Abstract
This paper presents a novel design of a high-gain omnidirectional slotted-waveguide antenna array for 5G mm-wave applications. The structure is based on a circular waveguide filled with teflon for manipulating its dimension. It provides 12,1 dBi gain and omnidirectional coverage in the azimuth plane with only 1.3 dB deviation, which is ensured by making use of a twisting technique for proper placing the slots into the waveguide walls. A bandwidth of 1.61 GHz centered at 26.2 GHz has been numerically demonstrated
