The paper describes concept of the phased array antenna made on a multilayered printed circuit board for the subscriber terminal of a modern Ka-band mobile communication system. Two options of the array are considered: Rx- and Tx- arrays. The architecture of the PAA is described, and main problems arising when creating such antennas are discussed. The ways of their solution are offered. The multilayer printed radiator is described in details. The proposed concept will be useful for design of the phased array antenna experimental model.
