Summary:
This paper reports the design of a Ka-band Equilateral triangular patch antenna (ETPA) fabricated using post- CMOS and post-MMIC compatible process technology. The antenna uses an air-cavity underneath the patch radiator that is supported on thin dielectric membrane. The antenna structure was analysed and optimised using the finite element method (FEM) based Agilent High Frequency Structure Simulator (version 5.5). The fabricated antenna resonated at 34.3 GHz with ?10 return loss bandwidth of 1.2 GHz.
