Abstract :
Performance of a novel differentially-fed UWB antenna operating at 60 GHz frequency range and manufactured in the LTCC technology is analysed theoretically. The antenna is based on aperture stacked patch fed via an H-shaped slot and is fed by a parallel transmission line which enables the antenna to be directly integrated with differential RF MMICs. Influence of the substrate size has been investigated.
