摘要
A novel mm-wave microstrip-fed patch antenna with broad bandwidth and wide angular coverage suitable for integration in planar arrays is designed, analyzed, and verified by measurements. The antenna provides a bandwidth of 13.1% between 34.1 and 38.9 GHz, which is achieved by a slotted multiple resonances microstrip patch and a matching circuit in microstrip technology. The antenna is built on RO3003 substrate with top and ground layers, which is low cost compared with other techniques. For simple integration with microstrip and frontend circuits, the feeding happens at the top layer with a microstrip coupling gap feed. The wide half-power beamwidth (HPBW) is achieved by suitably designed parasitic patches for the first resonant mode. The second resonant mode has a wide HPBW by default. The HPBW is between 100 degrees and 125 degrees within the matched bandwidth, which is a very good value for a microstrip patch antenna radiating over a ground plane. The measured input impedance and radiation characteristic show very good agreement with simulation results.
