Abstract :
In this paper, the design, fabrication and characterization of a V-band (50-75 GHz) 4/spl times/4 planar array of cavity backed circular aperture antennas with suspended substrate stripline corporate feed is presented for potential applications in satellite communications. The measured radiation patterns of a single circular aperture show excellent characteristics.
