摘要
This letter describes a compact broad band-stacked microstrip array antenna with a small novel lens for 60-GHz applications. The proposed antenna consists of 2 x 2 stacked patch elements using a multilayer RT/Duroid substrate. The microstrip array antenna achieves a gain of 10 dB. By adding a small, novel eggcup-type of lens to the antenna, a gain of similar to 15 dB is reached. The size of the final antenna including the microstrip patch array and the lens is only similar to 1.5 cm(3). The antenna has good performance over the frequency range from 57 to 63 GHz.
