We present a new approach to designing V-band Bull's eye antenna so as to produce multiple beams, which are either fixed or discretely steerable. Bull's eye antennas comprise concentric rings around a subwavelength aperture. Beam deflection is accomplished by adjusting the effective spacing of the rings, which we explain in terms of the coupling angle to free space and surface waves. We show that multiple beams can be obtained from a single antenna, with the deflection of each beam being controlled independently by the relevant portion of the ring pattern. We demonstrate the principle through rigorous full-wave simulations of two-beam antennas with symmetrical and asymmetrical shifts, and give experimental results for a prototype milled in aluminium, with two separate fixed beams each deflected 16° to either side of the broadside. We also propose means to obtain up to six different beam arrangements during operation by mechanically rotating a plate containing a special six-sector ring pattern. Our simulated example gives three patterns, a single broadside beam or two beams each deflected by 8° or 15°. The radiation efficiency of the antenna is 97%, and the gain of a single undeflected beam is 18.1dBi.

“…Fig. 2 shows the relationship between the data rate and transmission distance in wireless communications [2,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. One way to increase the data rate is to increase the carrier frequency of wireless communications systems, and we have been developing 120-GHz-band wireless link system for this purpose [14,15,16].…”

“…The situation is likely to change owing to the recent remarkable progress in semiconductor electronic and photonic devices, which enables us to handle MMW signal easily at low cost. In particular, Si CMOS devices can now operate in the over-60-GHz band [1,2], which makes it possible to construct MMW systems at low cost and to promote their widespread use. Fig.…”

This paper describes millimeter-wave (MMW) system technologies for wireless communications, imaging, and sensing. MMW systems have advantages of large bandwidth and short wavelength, and recent progress in electronic and photonic device enables us to handle MMW signals easily at low cost. State-of-the-art MMW wireless communications systems can transmit over-10-Gbit/s data, and research on transmission characteristics is progressing steadily. MMW imaging systems using nearfield dispersion can achieve high resolution, and they are starting to be used for non-destructive inspections of infrastructure. An MMW sensing system based on photonic technologies enable us to cover large bandwidths and is now being investigated for remote sensing of gasses in the fields of radio astronomy and disaster prevention.

“…The available 9 GHz wide millimeter-wave band is also divided into approximately 2 GHz wide four sub-channels. This has resulted in many enabling design blocks and various modeling techniques reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5]. Potential applications include low-power short-distance consumer applications such as wireless High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) for high-definition television (HDTV) video streaming and high data-rate wireless personal area networks.…”
