Printed Wideband Antenna for Millimeter Wave Applications

A Millimeter-Wave Wideband High-Gain Antenna Based on the Fabry-Perot Resonator Antenna Concept

A compact millimeter-wave (MMW) wideband high-gain antenna is proposed and implemented. The development is based on the design principle of wideband Fabry-Perot resonator antennas (FPRAs). The antenna consists of triple-layer dielectric slabs and a PEC ground, and it is fed by a rectangular waveguide. All slabs are used to form the superstrate that exhibits the increasing reflection phase at th...

Wideband Millimeter - Wave Cavity - Backed Bowtie Antenna

Although many directive antennas operating in a narrow band of millimeter (mm) waves were reported, e.g., antennas for 60GHz wireless local area network (WLAN), their wideband counterparts are still unpopular. Cavity-backed antennas (CBAs) are widely developed and reported in microwave frequency bands, but handful of literatures can be found about mm-wave CBAs in spite that their many propertie...

High Gain Circular Sector Microstrip Patch Antenna for Millimeter Wave WLAN Applications

Radiation Characteristics of a circular sector micro strip antenna (CSMA) designed for the 60 GHz millimeter-wave band an application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of a circular patch with sector slot excited by micro strip feeding technique. Substrate material chosen here is the Kapton which is a polyimide used in high performance flexible printed circuit and therma...

Millimeter Wave Multi-Beam-Switching Antenna

The paper introduces a high gain end-fire printed antenna operating at 14 GHz with a bandwidth of 2 GHz. The 3x3 antenna sub-array formed of this element is used to present its beam steering and multi-beam-switching capabilities for millimeter wave Massive MIMO antenna arrays of 5G networks. The co-existence of these two techniques in a Massive MIMO sub-array, aided by the use of a simple two v...
