Abstract

A coplanar-fed wideband antenna array system to characterize MIMO channels in the 60 GHz band is proposed. The array consists of six U-slot patch elements with half-wavelength separation and is fed independently by individual transceivers. The system is designed and simulated on fused silica substrate to be integrated easily with RFICs and to achieve fine fabrication resolution (1um) for accurate mm-wave measurements. It can provide 11dBi peak gain at broadside and beam steering up to ±40° tilted from broadside over 57-63 GHz band. A new on-wafer calibration technique is developed to balance the amplitude and phase of all transceivers at the input of the array system which realizes high accuracy for beam steering purposes.
