Abstract :
A new concept of coplanar waveguide (CPW) exciting of mm-wave slot antenna has been presented. The antenna feeding is ensured by the coupling from the coplanar line to the slot radiating element via an inductively excitation located within the ground plane to which the coplanar line is connected. Simulated results show good performances in terms of bandwidth and gain at 60 GHz. Through the adjustment of different parameters of the exciting slots, good impedance matching is achieved. This kind of antenna can be integrated easily with other active devices. The designed antenna is suitable for wireless communication in underground mine.
