Multilayer CPW-Fed Patch Antenna on New AMC Ground Plane for 60 GHz Millimeter-Wave Communications

This paper presents a 60 GHz CPW-fed patch antenna on multilayer LTCC- and LCP-based materials with new and compact AMC. The proposed antenna structure consists of top three layers of antenna and bottom three layers of AMC ground plane. First, a new and compact three- layer AMC is designed on both LTCC- and LCP-based substrates. The designed AMC is more compact and provides 37.5% higher in-phase bandwidth as compared to a state-of-the-art...
