We report the design of a directive antenna using the electromagnetic resonances of a Fabry-Perot cavity. The Fabry-Perot cavity is made of a ground plane and a single metallic grid. The resonance is excited by a patch antenna placed in the cavity at the vicinity of the ground plane. The two remarkable features of Fabry-Perot cavity antennas are, first, that they are very thin and second that only one excitation point is needed. A directivity of about 600 is measured at = 14 80 GHz which is to our knowledge one of the highest directivities reported for an antenna using Fabry-Perot resonances.
