Abstract :
This paper presents a metal cap with two slots covering the end of the module substrate for a 60-GHz wireless personal area network (WPAN). The metal cap is fed by a microstrip line (MSL). The internal structure of the metal cap is simple, consisting of only a T-junction. The thickness and the height of the cap are 1.1 mm and 3.8 mm, respectively. The bandwidth for reflection less than -10 dB is 19.5% and the gain is larger than 9 dBi over 57-66 GHz.
