Abstract
This paper reports the use of computational modelling and electromagnetic simulation to design and predict the performance characteristics of a new 60GHz mmWave antenna. The new antenna design takes the form of multi-layer copper patch immersed within a substrate. Based on the simulation results, the antenna has a Sn of less than lOdB at frequency range from 54GHz to 64GHz, hence offering a bandwidth of 10GHz at 10% return loss. At this bandwidth of 10GHz, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is less than 1.6. The antenna has a total gain of more than 6dB, with a radiation pattern that is almost omni-directional.
