Abstract

A set of novel modified short backfire antennas are proposed and designed for the application of millimeter-wave wireless LAN systems, by using the FDTD method. By changing the geometrical parameters and feeding structure, the short backfire antennas can generate different kinds of radiation patterns, including a narrow pattern, a fan-like pattern and a conical patterns, for various wireless LAN applications.
