Abstract
In the sub-millimeter-wave band, the wave is transmitted between two aperture antennas merely in the near-field region because of high working frequency and large space transmission loss. The antenna gain defined in the far-field region is no longer applicable under certain circumstance. Therefore, the near-field gain, one of the most important parameters of the sub-millimeter-wave antenna, should be defined. Based on the transmission equation and near-field transmission efficiency formulation, the near-field gain expression for the aperture antenna is proposed. The proposed expression can be applied to the entire radiation area, including not only the near field but also the far field. From the perspective of the theoretical derivation and numerical simulation, the results of the near-field gain for the aperture antenna are obtained in the sub-millimeter-wave band. Through a comparison with the published research, it can be concluded that the proposed expression is reasonable, indicating the theoretical establishment of the near-field gain and its potential application to the sub-millimeter-wave antenna design and sub-millimeter-wave radar theory.
