Summary:
This paper reviews the applications of substrate integration technology in millimetre-wave (mmW) antennas at 60-GHz and 140-GHz bands. The main challenges of mmW antennas such as losses, bandwidth and measurement are addressed. First, the technology to reduce the surface-wave loss of an antenna array operating at 60 GHz is introduced which is integrated into low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC). Then, a broadband technology is applied in a high gain 60-GHz LTCC array design is reviewed. Finally, the progress in the design and measurement of LTCC antenna arrays at 140 GHz is updated.
