Abstract :
This paper discusses on the design of a ridge waveguide slot antenna to be operated at the frequency of 63 GHz. The frequency is used for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) application. The antenna is design as structured in 5 layers of metal coated SU-8 photoresist, each at 200μm thick. The performance of the antenna is simulated using CST Microwave Studio 3D simulator. The simulation result shows that the antenna is well matched at 63 GHz with -28.7 dB return loss and a very narrow -10 dB bandwidth of 0.9%.
