Abstract

In this paper, we show a wideband transmission line (TL) model for a Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) antenna which is designed at a center frequency of 63 GHz using a thick and slotted metallic partially reflective surface. Then, by using the proposed wideband circuit model, we predict the gain and 3dB gain bandwidth of the antenna, assumed as infinitely large in the transverse domain (for the modeling purposes). Finally we compared the circuit model results to the full-wave ones for a FPC antenna of finite extent.
