Abstract :
This paper presents a computationally efficient method for the design of millimeter wave H-slot coupled silicon micromachined patch antennas using a transmission line model. The analysis incorporates CAD models of the suspended substrate microstripline for the calculation of effective dielectric constant of the radiating patch. The theoretical and experimental results for a fabricated 60GHz micromachined patch antenna are compared, showing good agreement.
