Abstract
This work introduces a wideband printed patch antenna design for 60 GHz radio applications. The proposed antenna is a single-layer structure with J-shaped slots loaded on the patch for the impedance bandwidth enhancement. The function of the J-shaped slots provides an additional current path for generating the second resonance of the patch. With this additional resonance, the antenna could find double resonances near the centre frequency of the patch. The antenna is excited by the grounded-coplanar waveguide (G-CPW) to microstrip line. This proposed antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 14.3% (8.6 GHz, 57-64 GHz) and the peak gain of 7.2 dBi. Its array of 4×1 arrangement yields impedance bandwidth of 19.2% (11.5 GHz, 55-65.5 GHz) with respect to the center frequency of 60 GHz, and rewards the maximum gain of 13.5 dBi at the broadside direction. This antenna has simple structure and is easy to fabricate by a conventional PCB technology. The proposed design finds a potential application of microstrip patch antenna in millimeter-wave wireless communications.
