Abstract
A wideband planar dielectric rod antenna with substrate integrated non-radiative dielectric (SINRD) waveguide feed, is presented in this communication for W-band and up-millimeter-wave applications. The antenna and its feeding structure are integrated into a single layer substrate, which decreases the fabrication cost and integration complexity. Simulated and measured results show that the antenna has a wide bandwidth. Due to the structure of the SINRD guide which is shielded on top and bottom of the substrate, the proposed antenna is suitable for multilayer structure techniques such as LTCC or on-chip antenna. This antenna presents numerous features such as broad bandwidth, relatively high and stable gain, use of high dielectric constant substrate, and substrate-oriented end-fire radiation. The proposed antenna is suitable for gigabyte chip-to-chip communications. Measured bandwidth of the antenna is 10 GHz (93-103 GHz) while a relatively flat gain of 9.5 ±1 dB is obtained over the bandwidth of interest.
