Abstract :
The design and fabrication of an Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) millimeter-wave stacked-patch antenna is presented. The antenna is fabricated on silicon and takes advantage of cavity etching and BCB membranes to achieve high efficiency (>;90%), large bandwidth (30% around 57 GHz) and high gain (6-8 dBi) performances in a small area (7 mm2). The feasibility of antenna arrays is also investigated.
