Abstract :
In this paper, we present a high efficiency antenna for 60 GHz low-cost packaged modules. This antenna is fabricated using IPD™ technology which is flip-chipped on a PCB Taclamplus substrate. A microstrip line etched on this Taclamplus substrate from Taconic is directly coupled to the upper patch antenna fabricated in the IPD™ technology from ST Microelectronics. A -10dB bandwidth of 10 GHz is obtained centered on 60 GHz frequency.
