Dadgarpour, Abdolmehdi, Zarghooni, Behnam, Virdee, Bal Singh and Denidni, Tayeb A. (2016) Single end-fire antenna for dual-beam and broad beamwidth operation at 60 GHz by artificially modifying the permittivity of the antenna substrate. Transactions on antennas and propagation, 64 (9). pp. 4068-4073.
Beamwidth radiation in the E-plane of a printed bow-tie antenna operating over 57–64 GHz. This is achieved by artificially modifying the dielectric constant of the antenna substrate using arrays of metamaterial inclusions realized using stub-loaded H-shaped unit cells to provide a high index of refraction. The H-shaped inclusions are tilted with respect to the axis of the antenna and embedded in the direction of the end-fire radiation. The resulting dual-beam radiation in the E-plane has maxima at +60° and 120° with respect to the end-fire direction (90°), with a maximum peak gain of 9 dBi at 60 GHz.
