Abstract
With the continuous development of wireless communication technology, the frequency band of 6G communication systems is moving towards higher frequencies such as millimeter waves and terahertz. In such high-frequency situations, wireless transmission requires antenna modules to be provided with characteristics of miniaturization, high integration, and high gain, which presents new challenges to the development of antenna technology. In this article, a 4 × 4 antenna array using multilayered low-temperature co-fired ceramic is proposed, operating in W-band, with a feeding network based on substrate-integrated waveguide, and an antenna element formed through the combination of a substrate-integrated cavity and surface parasitic patches, which guaranteed the array to possess the advantages of high integration and high gain. Combined with the substrate-integrated waveguide to a rectangular waveguide transition structure designed in the early stage, a physical array with a standard metal rectangular waveguide interface was fabricated and tested. The test results show that the gain of the antenna array is higher than 18 dBi from 88 to 98 GHz, with a maximum of 20.4 dBi.
