PROJECT TITLE :

A 60 GHz simple-to-fabricate single-layer planar Fabry–Pérot cavity antenna

ABSTRACT:

A planar single-layer single-feed Fabry-Pérot cavity antenna is meant and fabricated to work at 60 GHz. The simplicity and planarity of this style is achieved by using solely a laminated and commercially on the market dielectric slab, forming the cavity of the antenna, and by exciting the antenna through a planar feed, that's, a coplanar-waveguide-fed slot-dipole, printed directly on the ground plane of the cavity. The backward radiation as a result of of a feeding-slot on the bottom plane of the cavity is additionally investigated and a new closed form formula is presented. The radiation performance of the fabricated antenna is measured using an automated measurement setup engineered to characterise high-gain millimetre-wave antennas being probed on the opposite side of the main radiation beam.
