Abstract
Low cost millimetre wave modules are needed for emerging 60 GHz
applications such as high speed wireless communications and millimetre wave
identification (MMID). All applications require high performance antenna
arrays to overcome the high propagation losses. Two alternative antenna array
designs on a low cost substrate (Taconic Taclamplus) are presented and
analysed in this paper. The arrays are manufactured using standard printed
circuit board (PCB) technology and have measured gains of 18 dBi and 23 dBi.
The operational bandwidths are about 2 GHz around the center frequency.
Transmitter and receiver modules based on the developed antenna arrays are
also presented
