Microstrip Millimeter Wave Antenna Study.
Abstract
The study was conducted primarily to investigate the feasibility and potential of integrating the front-end mixer circuit of a millimeter wave receiver into a microstrip antenna array. Development was concentrated in three areas: Investigate the practicality of conformal microstrip antennas in the millimeter wavelength region. Specifically a 32 X 32 element array operating at 38.4 GHz was designed, fabricated and tested. Investigate possible designs for a front-end mixer circuit (i.e., local oscillator and mixer) which are compatible with the goal of incorporation into the microstrip antenna array. Design, fabricate, and analyze candidate circuits. Integrate candidate front-end circuit into microstrip antenna array. (Author)
