Abstract

A compact and high-performance beamforming array antenna is designed for 60 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band industrial applications. The proposed 16-element array provides peak realized gain of 16.5 dBi and half power beamwidth of 7° at 61 GHz (with realized gain greater than 15 dBi in the achieved band of 57-64 GHz). Radiation efficiency is greater than 70% in the band. The side-lobe levels are less than -10 dB in E and H planes, with extremely low cross polarization levels. Since the design of a low loss and wideband feed network is a challenging task at mmWave bands, therefore the junction lengths and chamfered transitions of the power divider are carefully optimized to achieve enhanced array performance, and a thorough analysis is presented. Moreover, an accurate antenna connector model is co-simulated and analyzed, which significantly affects antenna performance at millimeter-wave bands. Measured and simulated results show good agreement.
