摘要:
A millimeter-wave antipodal Fermi tapered slot antenna configured with a new corrugation is presented. The corrugation has a sine wave profile for improved design flexibility and radiation performance. The effect of the sine-corrugation parameters is presented in detail, and the optimized design is compared with the measured prototype. The antenna is fabricated using a low-cost printed circuit board process. The measured bandwidth of the antenna covers a wide band (55-65 GHz) with a measured gain of 18.75 dB at 60 GHz. With these features, the antenna is suitable for short-range wireless communications and imaging applications. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 57:6-9, 2015
