Abstract :
Developed from Leaky Feeder cable designs; this slotted antenna array design operates over a frequency range between 57GHz and 64GHz with a gain over this bandwidth varying from 10dBi to 16dBi. The design utilizes the properties of commercially available high frequency semi rigid coaxial cable and the associated, high packing density, proprietary connector system. Here we describe a versatile radiating element that could either be used as a stand-alone antenna or as part of an array configuration.
