“…However, the presented design is superior in terms of low parasitic radiation, achievable bandwidth of over 20 %, and almost perfect front-to-back ratio due to the reflector-like back-short vias. It was also used in a hybrid integrated mm-wave front-end at 60 GHz [9]. MMIC transceiver front-ends and IF or bias circuits can be mounted on the same substrate that is used for the antenna.…”

A novel type of integrated dielectric antenna is presented, which is suitable for low-loss integrated transceiver front-ends in the upper microwave or millimeter wave frequency ranges. The proposed antenna comprises a dielectric high permittivity substrate acting as grounded slab waveguide and a simple planar lens on top for beam focusing. The guided wave is gradually transformed to free space by a curved ground plane for end-fire radiation from the substrate edge. Apart from high radiation efficiency due to very low conductor losses, the use of a standard substrate material also simplifies manufacturing and allows accommodating MMICs or bias circuitry at minimum cost. Simulation and measurement results are presented for a scaled prototype in X-band. Simulation studies were also conducted at millimeter-wave frequencies, where the low-loss advantage is even more evident. Having dimensions of 10 mm × 18 mm, an example design provides a gain of 15 dBi at 60 GHz and a radiation efficiency of more than 80 % if a Duroid ® 6010LM substrate is used. Good input impedance matching is achieved in a bandwidth of over 20 %, covering the entire unlicensed 60-GHz band.

“…The antenna array is an end-fired antenna, which includes but is not limited to a dielectric rod antenna (DRA), a printed antenna and other tapered slot antennas. DRA arrays have numerous advantages over other end-fired antenna arrays [3,4]. They have low insertion loss, broadband input matching high mutual decoupling efficiency and low manufacturing cost.…”

Millimetre‐wave end‐fired antenna array for active 3D holographic imaging system

A compact Ka-band (26.5-40 GHz) dielectric rod end-fired antenna array for the three-dimensional (3D) active holographic imaging system is presented. Without horn shape feeding, the new antenna array is specially designed with characteristics such as small size, high gain, good radiation pattern, easy realisation, low insertion loss and low mutual coupling. In the imaging system, the spacing of sending and receiving antenna units is 1.5 wavelengths with mutual coupling <−30 dB and a gain of 12-16 dB. The results and analysis provide guidelines for the design of millimetre-wave end-fired antenna arrays.
