Abstract :
The authors design a rectangular patch antenna operating at f=23 GHz (K-band), with a dielectric constant of /spl epsiv//sub r/=10.8 and thickness of h=25 mils, with a suppressed TMo surface wave mode. Since for the given substrate, higher order modes exist at frequencies above 40 GHz, only the dominant mode needs to be eliminated.
