Abstract :
A broadband (16-18 GHz) microwave antenna has been designed on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate using effective index theory designed for optical waveguides. Test results on a prototype fabricated on Duroid 6010 have validated the design, which is relevant to monolithic integration of high-frequency antennas with other electronic and optoelectronic devices.
