Abstract

Cavity-backed patch antenna arrays with full corporate substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) feed networks are demonstrated at V-band for applications with the needs of high-gain antennas. A prototype of 16 × 16 radiating elements with a waveguide transition is fabricated by applying standard printed circuit board (PCB) facilities. A gain up to 30.1 dBi with a 3-dB gain bandwidth of 16.1%, an impedance bandwidth of 15.3% for {SWR} <2, and symmetrically broadside radiation patterns with-40 dB cross-polarizations are achieved. The performance of the proposed antenna array is also systematically evaluated. The result serves as a reference for designing large antenna arrays operating at millimeter-wave frequencies.
