Abstract :
In this paper, a novel configuration of a microstrip antenna that uses proximity coupling is designed, fabricated, and characterized for its performance in the mm-Wave frequencies. The S-parameters show a Bandwidth of 4% for a 16×1 sub-array and the gain of 25.3 dBi (16×16 array including corporate feed) at the center frequency 76.5GHz has been designed. Measurements are introduced and are in agreement with the theory.
