A planar single-layer single-feed Fabry-Pérot cavity antenna is designed and fabricated to operate at 60 GHz. The simplicity and planarity of this design is achieved by using only a laminated and commercially available dielectric slab, forming the cavity of the antenna, and by exciting the antenna through a planar feed, that is, a coplanar-waveguide-fed slot-dipole, printed directly on the ground plane of the cavity. The backward radiation because of a feeding-slot on the ground plane of the cavity is also investigated and a new closed form formula is presented. The radiation performance of the fabricated antenna is measured using an automated measurement setup built to characterise high-gain millimetre-wave antennas being probed on the opposite side of the main radiation beam.

“…Beside that the effect of presence of antenna with the rest of the radio circuit on the same chip or very close to it should be studied. Several offchip antennas and antennas-in-package (AiP) has been proposed for the millimeter -wave wireless applications in literature [3]- [8] Partly or fully on-chip antennas are essential for implementing fully integrated radio systems. An on-chip antenna significantly simplifies the matching network and improves the system performance by reducing the front end loss and improving the noise figure.…”

In this paper, the design of a 2-by-1 array of microstrip -coupled slot antenna in Integrated Passive Device (IPD) technology is explained. This antenna which operates in the frequency range 57-64 GHz, has maximum gain 4.9 dBi. The radiation efficiency at 60 GHz is 76%. The designed antenna is integrated over an alumina substrate using flip-chip bonding technique. The size of the antenna is 2 mm x 4.5 mm and can be used for antenna in package for mm-wave wireless systems.

“…Three different factors play important roles in popularity of an antenna to be used for majority of wireless millimeter-wave (MMW) applications (e.g., Q-band inter-satellite wireless communication systems [1]); the highly-efficient directive radiation for compensating losses associated with structural and wirelesspath losses, planarity of antenna structure aiming for smaller spatial spacing being used by the antenna, and finally, the planarity and integrability of the antenna-feed aiming for simplicity of integration with other part of the system. As an example, planar array antennas are well-known for their ability to produce high-gain directive radiation at MMWs, as shown in [2,3]. However, considering the fact that each element of the array must be excited separately, the main drawback of such antennas can be related to the losses associated to their complex feeding network.…”

An extremely simple design of a planar Fabry-Pérot cavity antenna is proposed as a very promising candidate for millimeter-wave wireless systems. The simplicity of this design is obtained by using a dielectric slab, here quartz, to form a single-layer cavity with thin layers of copper etched/printed on both sides, to form the ground plane on one side and the frequency-selective surface (FSS) on the opposite side of the slab. By keeping the planarity of the structure and not-requiring an additional supporting layer, the cavity is excited using an integrated feeding-slot antenna etched on its ground plane. The variations in the radiation properties of the proposed antenna, linked to its leaky-wave behavioral explanation, are studied by designing three prototypes with different maximum gain values. The prototype FPCs are designed to operate for Q-band wireless communication systems (here, resonating at three different frequencies in the range of 42-46 GHz). The performance of the designed antennas, backed by initial analytical and numerical simulations, is verified with a full set of measurement results.
