“…Table 1 spacing G. S 1 and S 2 affect the depth of S 11 . G primarily determines the coupling between the rat-race and the patch, and the radiation efficiency [8]. Parametric analysis reveals that an excellent return loss can be achieved when S 1 = 2 mm, S 2 = 0.2 mm, and G = 1.1.…”

“…Because this design places a differential feeding circuit on the same side as the patches, it may produce undesired front radiations if it cannot be incorporated into the differential amplifier. [8] presented differential aperture-coupled patch antennas using two ground apertures coupled to a balanced feed. An extra patch element placed behind the feed line to effectively block the back radiation acted as a reflector.…”

Abstract-This paper presents differential-fed patch antennas with excellent cross-polarization. This paper provides a detailed graphic illustration of factors that lead to deteriorated H-plane crosspolarization by the conventional single-ended feeding probes. A novel differential rat-race feeding structure was constructed to allow easy impedance matching. An experimental antenna was realized on lowtemperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) at 8 GHz. An excellent crosspolarization of less than −22.5 dB was achieved. When the operation frequency is high, the parasitic inductance caused by feeding probes may degrade the performance of antennas. This paper further proposes the use of differential aperture-coupled structures at high frequencies. An aperture-coupled antenna realized at 40 GHz with low crosspolarization < −15 dB has been achieved.

“…They are generally designed based on integrated circuits (ICs) [15][16][17], low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) [18], micro-machined [7,19,20] or commonly used substrate technologies [5,8,11,14,[21][22][23]. The former two types infuse innovations into the mm-wave antenna technologies, but the latter are still the most popular ways so far for the majority of manufacturers and users due to their low investments on research and development.…”

“…For instance, small bandwidth of high-order mode dielectric [9,10] and microstrip patch antennas [23,24] can constrainedly meet the lowest requirements of the 60-GHz WLAN. Although there are also wideband operations reported, they are limited by either the bulky dimensions [12,25,26] or omni-directional radiation patterns [27].…”

Abstract-Although many directive antennas operating in a narrow band of millimeter (mm) waves were reported, e.g., antennas for 60-GHz 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 properties are quite suitable for mm-wave applications. This paper presents a wideband unidirectional CBA with a bowtie exciter, operating in a frequency band of 40 ∼ over 75 GHz, and it is carefully analyzed in terms of influences of all components on the radiation patterns, broadside gains, and reflection coefficients of the proposed antenna. Then, the antenna prototype is built by generic printed circuit board (PCB) technologies, and measurements prove the validity of simulations.

This paper proposes a hybrid scanning antenna architecture for applications in mmwave intelligent mobile sensing and communications. We experimentally demonstrate suitable Wband leaky-wave antenna prototypes in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. Three SIW antennas have been designed that within a 6.5% fractional bandwidth provide beam scanning over three adjacent angular sectors. Prototypes have been fabricated and their performance has been experimentally evaluated. The measured radiation patterns have shown three frequency scanning beams covering angles from 11 to 56 degrees with beamwidth of 10±3 degrees within the 88-94GHz frequency range.Keywords Millimeter-wave mobile sensing and communications· W-band antennas· Leaky wave antennas·
