Thin Film Antennas for Millimeter and Submillimeter Wave Radiation

Abstract

Properties of the thin film submillimeter wave single slot antenna and slot antenna arrays on the dielectric substrate were theoretically and experimentally investigated. The thin film antennas were fabricated using microfabrication techniques, and the receiving experiments were carried out at 700 GHz. The experimental data agree with the theoretical predictions. The power gain of 13 dBi was obtained by the two-dimensional 8 x 3 slot antenna arrays.
