Abstract :
A high-gain and low-cost millimetre-wave patch antenna is presented. The designed antenna with a U-slot loaded on the patch is excited by a single microstrip line. The impedance bandwidth of the prototype is ~11.6% from 57GHz to 60GHz. The gain of 8.2dBi is achieved at 60GHz. This single antenna element yields advantages of high gain, good directional radiation pattern and low fabrication cost. It is suitable for unlicensed millimeterwave ISM-band applications.
