Summary:
A low cost technology based on FR4 and thin flexible Pyralux substrate to develop membrane antennas / array with high efficiency and wide bandwidth for high speed V-band communication systems are proposed in this paper.The new low cost thin Pyralux substrate with a thickness of 75μm, relative permittivity of εr = 2.4 and tanδ = 0.002 is used. A single and 1x4 array of membrane supported microstrip patch antennas (MPA) fed by substrate integrated waveguide technology are designed and characterized.
