Coplanar Fed Micromachined Planar Antennas for Power Combining Applications at D-Band Frequencies

Abstract

Several transitions from coplanar waveguide on thin dielectric membrane to micromachined planar antennas have been investigated. The physical dimensions of the multi-layer planar antenna structures as well as the shape of the micromachined horns have been optimized for operation at 150 GHz. The calculated return losses are low and the direction of maximum radiated power is orthogonal to the plane of the CPW-feedline what indicates a good applicability for power combining array arrangements.
