Abstract :
A new Fabry-Perot resonator (FPR) antenna fed by a wire loop is investigated for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) mobile communications. The antenna consists of two parallel metallic plates connected by a horizontal ground plane. A shorted half-loop is used to feed the FPR antenna. As compared with the previous L-probe fed FPR antenna, the proposed FPR antenna can reduce the cross polarization and improve the main lobe. The proposed antenna has a simulated gain of 12.1 dBi and a 10-dB impedance bandwidth of ~1.7 %.
