Abstract

A compact and high gain dual semi-circular slotted patch antenna with moderate bandwidth for 60 GHz applications is presented in this article. A rectangular-shaped patch inspires this design. The slotted antenna provides an impedance bandwidth of 1.75 GHz (58.87–60.62 GHz) and a gain of 7.55 dB. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 12 × 9.5 mm2. A dielectric superstrate is used to improve the antenna bandwidth and gain. The proposed antenna with superstrate exhibits an improved bandwidth of 2.48 GHz (58.22–60.70 GHz), an enhanced gain of 11.8 dB, and an efficiency of 95%, respectively. The antenna provides stable time-domain performance (isolation, isolation phase, group delay, and fidelity factor) over the operating band. The design prototype is fabricated and tested experimentally. Measured results exhibit a good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antenna is suitable for high data-rate radio access and high gain 60 GHz applications.
