“…The scan coverage of an array is determined by the type of the array used [18]. A linear array is capable of only 180 • scan coverage using the traditional (1-D) Butler matrix [13]. On the other hand, a planar array can provide 360 • scan coverage and is better suited for the chip-to-chip communications in all eight directions [1], [2].…”

“…Besides, employing an antenna array with a beam forming property is also required to achieve directive radiation beams in the desired spatial directions . Beam forming can be cost‐effectively realized by using a Butler matrix network, which provides appropriate phases and amplitudes as excitations of array elements according to the desired beams’ directions .…”

“…In this perspective, selecting an appropriate material platform for system integration is an important task in the design of a low cost, compact, and high performance beam forming structure. Having excellent high‐frequency performances, there are many new thin materials such as liquid crystal polymer (LCP), low temperature co‐fired ceramic (LTCC), and ceramic which have been explored for millimeter wave applications . Among them, ceramic technology has received considerable attentions for antenna/microwave applications specifically because of its inherited low‐loss and high dielectric constant features.…”

The integration feasibility of two technologies including Miniaturized Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (MHMIC) and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are experimentally demonstrated at millimeter wave frequencies through the design of a switched beam antenna array. A 1 × 4 array of aperture coupled patch antennas etched on a RO5880 substrate is fed by a 4 × 4 butler matrix etched on a piece of high permittivity ceramic substrate. By using the proposed combined fabrication technologies, the feeding part on the ceramic substrate can be easily integrated with MMIC active component, while the radiation part is individually improved. Comparison of simulated and measured results show that the proposed switched beam antenna offers a −10 dB matching bandwidth of 6 GHz ranging from 58 GHz to 64 GHz and a multi beam radiation pattern which is focused in 45°, 15°, −15°, −45° directions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A monopole antenna embedded in low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) for end-fire radiation is presented in this paper. It provides horizontal polarization at 60 GHz band for short range high speed data communication. The antenna is embedded at edge of an LTCC substrate for end-fire radiation. The size of the antenna without feeding structure is 2.5mm(W) X 1.0mm(D) X 1.38mm(H) and embedded in a substrate of 2.8mm(W) X 2.44mm(D) X 1.38mm(H). The measured -10dB input matching bandwidth is 62~65GHz. Simulation results show about 4.7dB gain and 3dB beamwidth of 85 degree and 125 degree at horizontal and vertical plane.
