Abstract

We have proposed 3-D micromachined elevated patch antenna for G-band (140GHz to 220GHz) applications. ne antenna is consisted of coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed line, a feeding post, air-bridge, supporting posts, and elevated patch. The antenna topology effectively creates a low dielectric substrate and undesired substrate effects can be eliminated, since the antenna substrate is essentially air which the lowest possible dielectric constant. This will increase the radiation efficiency, gain, and the radiation bandwidth. The measurement result shows the bandwidth is about 7GHz, from 170GHz to 177GHz with nearly constant broadside radiation pattern. Also, this work has demonstrated the capability of fabricating a high performance antenna design in a MMICs compatible process
