  • Abstract
    A new procedure to measure the apparent reflection coefficient of differential patch antennas at 60 GHz is described. The measurement method makes use of two WR15/microstrip-line (MSL) transitions which are simple to realise. The experimental results are compared with simulated results. This comparison emphasises the limited effect of transition losses on measurement accuracy.
