Abstract :
In this paper a cavity-backed linearly tapered slot antenna for 60 GHz operation is presented. Compared with other antennas, the footprint of the new antenna are reduced. This allows their usage in arrays at a finer pitch, thus reducing the footprint requirements of the whole array or allowing the usage of more antenna elements in an unscaled array. The antenna is shown to have a gain better than 6 dBi over a frequency range of 57…66 GHz and a very smooth pattern both in the E- and H-plane.
