On glass antennas, CPW-fed, designed to operate at K{sub}α-band with PBG, photonic bandgap, matrix

摘要

This paper presents preliminary results of microstrip patch antennas made on glass substrates, The antennas are CPW-Fed, using a 2D metallic PBG, Photonic Band Gap, matrix. The objective of this work is to show the feasibility of antenna structures to operate at Ka-Band on different materials. As a complementary task it is to establish a litb6graphic process technique on different substrates to investigate the alternatives for high performance microwave devices at low costs. The millimeter wave or near millimeter wave band are expected to be a frequency resource for wireless terrestrial and satellite, the 3G and 4G mobile communication system and PC-card-radio terminal. These bands also accommodate multimedia wide band operation.
