Abstract :
A monopole antenna embedded in low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) for end-fire radiation is presented in this paper. It provides horizontal polarization at 60 GHz band for short range high speed data communication. The antenna is embedded at edge of an LTCC substrate for end-fire radiation. The size of the antenna without feeding structure is 2.5mm(W) × 1.0mm(D) × 1.38mm(H) and embedded in a substrate of 2.8mm(W) × 2.44mm(D) × 1.38mm(H). The measured -10dB input matching bandwidth is 62~65GHz. Simulation results show about 4.7dB gain and 3dB beamwidth of 85 degree and 125 degree at horizontal and vertical plane.
