This paper resents a high-directivity planar microstrip antenna array operating at microwave frequency. The antenna array consists of 48 sub-arrays, and each sub-array comprises 4 elements. The radiation mechanism of the single element, by exciting the first higher order mode (EH, mode), can be estimated by the full-wave analysis. Through appropriately arranging and feeding these 192 single elements, the radiated characteristic of the antenna performs narrow radiation beamwidth both in azimuth (AZ) and elevation (EL), thus achieving high directivity. The planar microstrip antenna array prototype is built and tested at 38GHz by traditional printed circuit board (PCB) fabricating process. The measurement result indicates the high directivity of 22.3dB and the 3-dB beamwidth of 8degrees/12degrees (AZ/EL) at the elevated angle 30.2degrees away from the broadside direction.

An open RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit) architecture employing ACSS (Advanced Coplanar Strips System) guiding technology is presented in this paper. This approach can integrate all the RF front-end components in one module using conventional PCB (printed circuit board) fabrication process. A 10 Mb/s FSK signal is upconverted to 30.18 GHz and 30.28 GHz and broadcasted through a cone-shaped antenna at power level of 10 dBm. The received signal is directly converted to baseband by even harmonic quadrature mixer, which shows a great isolation of 30 dB between RF and LO signal. The measured waveforms of the reported transceiver demonstrate the potential of constructing the wireless system with all-planar integrated circuits.
