Abstract

In this paper, a 91 GHz H-plane horn antenna implemented by a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) was designed and measured. The SIW horn antenna was fabricated on a standard 0.5-μm GaAs process and the substrate´s thickness is 100 μm. Planar SIW horn design method with standard GaAs circuit design rule was adopted. The reflection coefficient and antenna gain were simulated by the FEM-based 3-D full-wave EM solver, Ansoft HFSS, and measured by an Agilent E8361C network analyzer and a Cascade 110 GHz probe station.
