Becoming another key technology for system integration, GaAs based millimeter wave antenna is fabricated by MEMS technology, with high permittivity dielectric substrates. To obtain good performance, it is necessary to achieve the equivalent of low dielectric constant of the local area below microstrip patch antenna. The article describes deep etching fabrication and multiple etching with thick photoresist masking to creat air cavity under the microstrip patch which usually has the height from 70% to 80% of the original media substrate, thus it forms the air-mixed media substrate. Especially for precision control of the substrate thickness, use back thinning and high-precision polishing processes. At last realize back cavity depth of 227μm in the GaAs substrate and complete the process of Ka band MEMS patch antenna. The measurement results: the center frequency is 37.9 GHz, bandwidth is 4.4%, radiation efficiency above 50%.

In this paper an inset feed 60 GHz millimeter wave microstrip patch antenna is proposed for future high speed wireless communication systems. The performance of a conventional 60 GHz patch antenna compared with metamaterial-based 60 GHz antennas. The later employs three types (mushroom, cross and hexagonal) of Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) surfaces as a ground planes. The millimeter wave antenna employing the cross-shaped EBG give improved gain as compared to the rest of the antenna models. The 60 GHz antenna based on the mushroom type EBG present better efficiency due to the surface suppression by the ground plane. The proposed antennas can be used in future high speed wireless applications. Due to the very small size these antennas are suitable for medical implants operating in the unlicensed millimeter wave band.

Effective Design

In this work, the issue of limited bandwidth typical of microstrip antennas realized on a single thin substrate is addressed. A simple yet effective design approach is proposed based on the combination of traditional single-resonance patch geometries. Two novel shaped microstrip patch antenna elements with an inset feed are presented. Despite being printed on a single-layer substrate with reduced thickness, both radiators are characterized by a broadband behavior. The antennas are prototyped with a low-cost and fast manufacturing process, and measured results validate the simulations. State-of-the-art performance is obtained when compared to the existing literature, with measured fractional bandwidths of 3.71% and 6.12% around 10 GHz on a 0.508-mm-thick Teflon-based substrate. The small feeding line width could be an appealing feature whenever such radiating elements are to be used in array configurations.
