Abstract

A design methodology to accomplish compact and wideband end-fire millimeter-wave antenna is presented. A dielectric-loaded cavity-backed slot antenna is utilized to achieve the compact design. In addition, a dielectric matching layer is employed to enable the wideband operation. The antenna achieves a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 2.1 from 27.4 GHz to 40.8 GHz with an antenna realized gain in the end-fire direction ranging from 4 dBi to 5.5 dBi. A compact design of 2.2 × 2 × 5 mm3, which is 0.2 × 0.18 × 0.45 3max where max is the free space wavelength at the lowest operating frequency.
