Integrated antenna for e.g. medical diagnosis, has planar wave guide, whose conductive strips are formed on upper surface of substrate and are respectively connected to conductive ribbon and to conductive ground plane

摘要

The antenna has a conductive ground plane (PM) arranged on an upper surface (S) of a dielectric or semiconductor substrate (SB). A conductive ribbon (RC) extends above the ground plane and forms an angle with the ground plane to form a horn-shaped radiating structure (SR) with electromagnetic transverse waves. A planar wave guide (G) comprises conductive strips (BC1, BC2), which are formed on the upper surface of the substrate. The conductive strips are respectively connected to the conductive ribbon and to the ground plane. An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing an antenna.
