Abstract

A low-profile antenna design for millimeter wave radio link applications is presented. The antenna has a simple planar array construction, high gain and low enough sidelobes to be ETSI compliant. Measurement with a hologram CATR (compact antenna test range) is also discussed and the results are compared with those from tests in a planar near-field scanning facility and from tests with the traditional far-field method
