Abstract:
This paper presents the design and the prototyping of a
patch-fed dielectric rod antenna at V band.The proposed antenna requires
small space on printed circuit boards and eliminates the difficulty for a
millimeter-wave probe feed.The details of simulation and manufacturing
are described and measurements are conducted to examine the antenna
performance.The patch and the rod have been fabricated using Duroid
substrates and Teflon respectively.The impedance bandwidth of the
antenna is 3 GHz.Its measured gain is up to 16 dBi at 61 GHz.Radiation
characteristics, circular polarizations and beam tilting are also examined
and discussed.As the proposed antenna can achieve high gain with relatively
low profile, multiple patch-fed rods can be built as a beam-switching
array or a multiple-input-multiple-output array for high data rate wireless
communications.
