Abstract :
Cavity-backed inverted circular patch antennas fed by a probe have been tested and simulated for operation in the Ka-band. Two antennas having different cavity and patch diameters operate at 34.2 and 35.9 GHz, respectively. A full-wave electromagnetic simulator accurately predicts the operating frequency and radiation patterns.
