Abstract
In this paper, single row series feed antennas are presented with narrow beamwidth in one direction at a resonance frequency of 61.25 GHz. The proposed edge fed antennas consist of 8, 10 and 12 single patches. The antennas are based on Megtron6 with εr = 3.62 and a tan(δ) = 0.004. We modelled and simulated these antennas with the full wave simulation tool AnsysEM HFSS. The designed antennas are in good agreement with well-known theoretical approximations. We also validated the results with fabricated antenna arrays with a connector and a radiation measurement setup from NSI. Finally, we show that 10 the simulation and measurement results are in good agreement. The achieved characteristic values of the radiation are for the 8x1 array a gain of 15.4 dBi and a HPBW 11.0°, for the 10x1 array a gain of 15.6 dBi and a HPBW 8.5° and for the 12x1 array a gain of 15.9 dBi and a HPBW 8.5°.
