In this article, the design of a rectangular patch antenna in the millimeter-wave range is presented. The antenna is placed on a Rogers TC600 substrate with a dielectric constant of 6.15. The antenna resonance is kept around 28 GHz. The proposed work enhances the gain by placing a superstrate at a specific distance from the radiator equal to 0.5 λ, which reflects the electromagnetic wave between the two substrates and, consequently, enhances the gain. As a result, the proposed method enhances the gain by approximately 2.27 dB, which suitable for automotive applications at mm-wave band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
