Abstract

A set of seven rod antennas at 60 GHz to support gigabit wireless networks is described. Rods are fed by patches and their radiation coverage are in hexagonal configuration. The antenna array demonstrates approximately 11 dBi gain, a 19% bandwidth and 40deg half power beamwidth. The coupling coefficient is no more than -30 dB between elements. The design method, simulation, manufacture and characterization of the antenna are presented. The proposed small-scale multi-beam array is suitable for both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight wireless links
