Abstract

A broadband and compact antenna concept for a point-to-multipoint communication system at millimeter-wave frequencies is presented. The antenna consists of a rectangular feed waveguide, an H-plane parallel plate horn, an enclosed parabolic reflector section, a radiation slot aperture, and corrugated external baffles. The bandwidth is 2.9 GHz corresponding to a relative bandwidth of 12.6 % at 23 GHz for a return loss better than 10 dB of a prototype. The overall dimensions of the manufactured antenna are 200 mm by 147 mm by 50 mm
