Abstract

The design and experimental investigation of a D-Band coplanar stripline-fed double dipole antenna is presented. Double dipole antennas are designed for operation at 110-170 GHz as the imaging array elements for two millimeter wave imaging systems for plasma diagnostics. The antenna patterns are measured on high density polyethylene (HDPE) elliptical lenses. The wide bandwidth antenna has clean patterns with low side lobe levels and narrow beam width, and thus can provide good image resolution and low inter-channel crosstalk.
