Abstract :
The design, fabrication and measurement of a monolithic Circular Stacked Antenna (CSA) array for 60 GHz applications in consumer electronics is presented and proposed. The multilayer CSA is devised using LTCC printing technology for high-volume production scenarios. A detailed study of the antenna element topology and antenna array layout is presented. Simulated and measured results indicate the CSA array features 2:1 VSWR from 57 GHz to 66 GHz and more than 15.5 dBi gain at boresight angle.
