An innovative methodological paradigm is proposed for the design of unconventional antenna systems for future 5G base stations. In such a co-design strategy, the antenna element (a spline-shaped patch embedded in a finite array model) and the overall irregularly clustered-array layout are simultaneously synthesized through a multi-objective antenna-shape-optimization combined with a sub-arraying technique based on a new singleobjective integer-coded Genetic Algorithm able to intrinsically handle constraints on the cluster shapes/types. Selected numerical examples, drawn from an exhaustive design process, are presented to assess the advantages and the effectiveness of the proposed co-design scheme in view of the final manufacturing of 5G base stations thanks to its capability to take into account the impact of mutual coupling, non-ideal antenna patterns, and implementation limitations .
