Abstract

Several linearly-polarized and circularly-polarized transmit-arrays are designed and demonstrated in the 60-GHz band. These arrays have a fairly simple structure with three metal layers and are fabricated with a standard printed-circuit board technology. The simulation method is based on an electromagnetic model of the focal source and the unit-cells, associated to an analytical modeling of the full structure. A theoretical analysis is presented for the optimization of the power budget with respect to the F/D ratio. Several prototypes are designed and characterized in V-band. The experimental results are in very good agreement with the simulations and demonstrate very satisfactory characteristics. Power efficiencies of 50-61% are reached with a 1-dB gain bandwidth up to 7%, and low cross-polarization level.
