Abstract :
This paper presents a planar grid array antenna with a 100 Ω differential microstrip line feed on a single layer of standard soft substrate. The antenna operates in the 79 GHz frequency band for automotive radar applications. Its single row design offers a narrow beam in elevation and a wide beam in azimuth. Together with the differential microstrip line feeding, the antenna is suitable for differential multichannel MMICs in the frequency range.
