Abstract
This letter proposes a compact millimeter-wave (mmWave) planar antenna array with wideband and wide-angle scanning capabilities. The proposed design incorporates a segmented patch to extend the bandwidth and utilizes metal vias to suppress nonradiative mode. A substrate-integrated back cavity structure is introduced to suppress surface waves, improving wide-angle impedance matching (WAIM) in the E-plane. In addition, a square-ring meta-surface enhances WAIM in the H-plane. A fabricated 6 × 6 array demonstrates a bandwidth of 23.16 GHz to 29.28 GHz (23.3%) and scanning ranges of $\bm {\pm 70^\circ }$ in the E-plane and $\bm {\pm 60^\circ }$ in the H-plane, providing a viable pathway for compact mmWave systems requiring concurrent wideband and wide-angle scanning.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
