Abstract :
A 3×3 CPW-fed, aperture-coupled patch antenna array operating at 20.7 GHz has been designed, fabricated and measured for this work. Conventional silicon processing and micromachining methods were used to fabricate the dual-substrate structure. S-parameter and pattern measurements were performed to demonstrate the antenna and feed network performance at 20.7 GHz.
