A Millimetre Wave Embroidary Beam Forming Antenna Array for UWB Applications

Abstract

WLAN and Body Area Networks (BAN) are rapidly advancing as high data rate wireless communication systems using UWB spectrum. UWB spectrum offers 7 GHz wide bandwidth which ranges over 57 to 64 GHz. In this UWB communication systems Antenna design plays a crucial role for signal transmission and reception. However Antenna design at UWB spectrum is more challenging than narrow band design Beam forming Antenna arrays play an important role at these frequencies. In this paper A novel embroidery broadside dipole array is proposed. The proposed antenna array is designed and analyzed using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS).
