Abstract
This paper presents a low-profile, high gain, beam-tilted continuous transverse stub (CTS) array antenna at W-band. The antenna compromises 32 radiating slots and is fed by a parallel plate waveguide (PPW) network with a linear source generator. To deflect the outgoing beam, the principle of linear array scanning is adopted to design inverted T-type structure in each stub to introduce wave path difference. PPW network allows the antenna to obtain lower profile compared to other transmission lines. The design procedure, and the antenna characterization are described. The main beam of the antenna is titled 12 degree in H-plane. The simulation and measured results show that this antenna achieves peak gain of 32.4 dB and a 12 degree beam tilt angle at 99GHz. S11 parameters of the antenna is less than -10 dB in a broadband from 96 GHz to 103 GHz. This antenna has an advantage of miniaturization over other high-gain antenna solutions. The promising performance of this proposed CTS antenna reveals the possible candidate for Millimeter wave (MMW) telecommunication applications.
