Abstract

Despite the inherent transmission-range limitations of 60 GHz band, it has applications in a wide variety of fields, notably in rear occupant alert (ROA) systems for monitoring vehicle occupants in rear seats. In-vehicle monitoring radar systems commonly utilize microstrip patch antennas for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves, which generally suffer from limited bandwidth. Although various techniques such as stub matching and single and multi-section quarter-wave transformers can be employed to widen the bandwidth of a microstrip patch antenna, they lead to an overall increase in the antenna size. This study proposes a compact 3 × 1 series-fed patch array antenna designed for operation in 60 GHz band. The proposed compact antenna achieves impedance matching by employing a symmetrical inset structure on both the top and bottom of the patches, with different patch sizes and interelement spacings. The overall antenna dimensions, using the RO4830 substrate (ε_r = 3.23, tan δ = 0.0033), are 1.41 mm × 7.04 mm × 0.125 mm. The impedance bandwidth ranges from 60.95 to 66.73 GHz, and the maximum realized gain is 10.24 dBi at 62.5 GHz. The half-power beam-widths (HPBWs) are 33.96 degrees in the E-plane and 76.19 degrees in the H-plane at 62.5 GHz.

60 千兆赫频段的紧凑型串联馈电微带贴片阵列天线

尽管 60 GHz 波段存在固有的传输范围限制，但其应用领域十分广泛，特别是在用于监控后排乘员的后排乘员警报（ROA）系统中。车载监控雷达系统通常使用微带贴片天线来发射和接收电磁波，但这种天线的带宽通常有限。虽然可以采用各种技术（如存根匹配、单节和多节四分之一波变压器）来拓宽微带贴片天线的带宽，但这些技术会导致天线的整体尺寸增大。本研究提出了一种设计用于 60 GHz 频段的紧凑型 3 × 1 串联馈电贴片阵列天线。通过在贴片的顶部和底部采用对称的嵌入结构，以及不同的贴片尺寸和元件间距，所提出的紧凑型天线实现了阻抗匹配。使用 RO4830 衬底（εr = 3.23，tan δ = 0.0033）时，天线的整体尺寸为 1.41 mm × 7.04 mm × 0.125 mm。阻抗带宽范围为 60.95 至 66.73 GHz，在 62.5 GHz 时的最大增益为 10.24 dBi。在 62.5 GHz 时，半功率波束宽度（HPBW）在 E 平面为 33.96 度，在 H 平面为 76.19 度。
