Description
Summary:The automotive industry is trending to more autonomous technology and the demand for RF/wireless communication has increased a lot in last few years. Therefore, the performance along with low profile, low cost, lightweight antenna technology will be the feature of this paper. This work proposes a wideband and high gain millimeter-wave (MMW) antenna implemented on low loss, high-performance substrates (ArCuClad 217 and Roger R03003), which provide excellent properties and are a suitable candidate for MMW wave automotive applications, including 5G communication, automotive radars, other ultra-wideband applications in K(18-27 GHz), Ka(26-40 GHz) and V(40-75 GHz) bands. The antenna performance parameters results, VSWR, reflection coefficient and radiation pattern of these antenna samples will be characterized and compared with each other. It is found that across the operating bands, the measured VSWR is better than 3.3: 1 at the desired frequencies (24 GHz, 28, and 55 GHz) for both the substrates; however, the lowest VSWR is obtained at 28 GHz for both the antennas. It can be seen that the antenna has a good impedance matching (|S11| < 10 dB) in a broadband frequency starting from 23 to 30 GHz, equivalent to a fractional bandwidth of 26.9 % to the central frequency.
