  Millimeter-wave (mmWave), massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), are
expected to play a crucial role for 5G and beyond cellular and next-generation
wireless local area network (WLAN) communications. Moreover, unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) are also considered as an important component of
next-generation networks. In this paper, we propose and present a mmWave
distributed phased-arrays (DPA) architecture and proof-of-concept (PoC) designs
for user equipment (UE) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which will be used
in 5G/Beyond 5G wireless communication networks. Through enabling a
multi-stream multi-beam communication mode, the UE PoC achieves a peak downlink
speed of more than 4 Gbps with optimized thermal distribution performance.
Furthermore, based on the DPA topology, the UAV aerial base station (ABS)
prototype is designed and demonstrates for the first time an aggregated peak
downlink data rate of 2.2 Gbps in the real-world field tests supporting
multi-user (MU) application scenarios.
