A 60 GHz 8×8 Planar Array Antenna with Corporate Feed Network using Meandered Probe Fed Patch in LTCC Technology

Abstract

We present a 60 GHz wideband rectangular patch antenna array (8×8) with corporate feed network using meandered probe fed patch in low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. Each radiating element is composed of a rectangular patch excited by a meandered probe. This array is being fabricated at Kyocera and will be tested for both impedance matching and radiation patterns in the millimeter wave (mmWave) mini-compact range (MCR) of the Antenna and Microwave Lab (AML) at San Diego State University.
