Abstract :
Bond-wire antennas provide a cost-effective method for radio transmission in the 60 GHz band. A new step in this technology is to place antennas in an array. This paper presents an efficient model to determine the mutual coupling between two half-loop bond-wire antennas. The model is verified by measurements on a scaled prototype.
