- Abstract
The paper presents two composite right/left-handed (CRLH) coplanar waveguide (CPW) zeroth-order resonant (ZOR) antennas which were designed, processed, and electrically characterized for applications in the millimetric wave frequency range. Two CRLH antennas were developed for f = 27 GHz and f = 38.5, GHz, respectively. The CRLH antenna on f = 27 GHz shows a return loss of RL < -18.78 dB at f = 26.88 GHz. The -3 dB radiation characteristic beamwidth was approximately 37? and the gain was Gi = 2.82 dBi. The CRLH antenna on f = 38.5 GHz has a return loss of RL < -38.5dB at f = 38.82 GHz and the -3 dB radiation characteristic beamwidth of approximately 17°. The gains were Gi = 1.08 dBi at f = 38 GHz and Gi = 1.2 dBi at f = 38.6 GHz. The maximum measured gain was Gi = 1.75 dBi at f = 38.2 GHz. It is, upon the authors' knowledge, the first report of millimeter wave CRLH antennas on silicon substrate in CPW technique for use in mm-wave monolithic integrated circuit.
