Abstract

In this paper, a 60 GHz dipole antenna with excellent performance such as wideband impedance matching, medium gain and high efficiency (> 90%) is designed and tested. Also, the antenna is then placed inside a metal box and tested. The dipole-box antenna not only maintains good impedance matching but also demonstrates a gain of 10-11 dB and narrower H-plane radiation patterns than the standard dipole antenna. The dipolebox antenna is ideal for placement inside a laptop or a portable 60 GHz communications device since it is shielded from the environment and is not affected by nearby metals.
