Abstract :
A Fabry-Perot antenna operating at Q-band is proposed for access and backhaul communication networks. The antenna consists of an air-filled cavity fed by a patch and delimited by a PRS made of a dielectric layer with small periodic patches. The FP antenna has been designed and manufactured. A gain of 15 dBi has been measured at 43.10 GHz.
