Abstract :
This paper presents a novel wideband shorted higher-order mode patch antenna working at millimeter-wave band. The size of the antenna has been enlarged by exploiting its higher-order mode operation for easy fabrication, lower cost as well as higher tolerance while a slot is introduced to widen the bandwidth. Experimentally, the antenna achieves about 18% impedance bandwidth and broadside radiation.
