Abstract :
We present a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna designed for 60 GHz indoor Radio-over-Fiber photonic transmitters. For broad-band applications (57-64 GHz) a return loss (RL) higher than 7 dB and a front-to-back ratio (FTBR) of 17 dB are achieved. Alternative resonant solutions are also introduced to achieve RL > 10 dB and FTBR = 21 dB.
