Abstract :
Microstrip comb-line antennas are developed in the millimeter-wave band. To improve the return loss characteristics and the design accuracy against the unexpected radiation due to reflection waves in the microstrip feeding line, we propose matching-circuit-integrated radiating-elements for comb-line antennas. Microstrip comb-line antennas are designed in travelling-wave excitation. Their performances are confirmed by experiments.
