Description
Summary:This paper presents a 55-65 GHz 16-element beam-steering array with a low-cost piezoelectric transducer-controlled phase shifter employing a single printed circuit board substrate. An ultrawideband antipodal fermi tapered slot antenna element with sine corrugation is designed to achieve symmetric E- and H-plane radiation patterns. The array is fed with an amplitude taper wideband Y-junction power divider integrated with an electromagnetic bandgap structure surrounding the feeding network. The measured results show a wide impedance bandwidth of S11
