Abstract :
The problems associated with accurate predictions of antenna performances at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies are studied. A number of possible techniques that have been proposed for pattern predictions at millimeter-wave frequencies are described. The viability of the techniques has been studied theoretically and experimentally. The results demonstrate the suitability of the techniques for predicting the performance of antennas in the millimeter-wave regime.<>
