Abstract :
We study a “Bull´s eye” antenna with double shifted rings structure at 60 GHz. We conducted a parametric study of a symmetric configuration, and we predict that two lobes can be steered to opposite sides of the normal by up to 18.6°. This is a similar range to a single shifted “Bull´s eye” antenna that we studied earlier, except the double structure produces two lobes. These two lobes can be created without sacrificing the efficiency or directivity relative to a single “Bull´s eye” antenna.
