Abstract :
A millimetre-wave omnidirectional circular dielectric rod grating antenna is investigated theoretically and experimentally. As an eigenvalue problem, the antenna is analyzed with the rigorous mode matching method. The radiation characteristics of the antenna are calculated and measured in the Ka-band frequency range. A comparison between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions is made and good agreement is found. The practicality of the omnidirectional antenna and the effectiveness of the theory are thus justified
