Design and Analysis of Conventional Antennas for the Applications in Millimeter-Waves

In recent years antennas operating on millimeter-wave frequencies have generated a considerable demand. The various unique applications of millimeter wave antennas along with the availability of the bandwidth makes them a very promising area which is yet to be explored. This paper is for designing of conventional antennas which can work for millimeter wave frequencies. This work includes mathematical analysis and designing of Horn and Yagi-uda antennas for mm-wave and simulation of basic parameters using HFSS. A rectangular shaped slot is incorporated into patch, and antenna structure is used as a patch with coplanar waveguide (CPW) as a feeding structure. A brief mathematical theory of both antennas, software introduction, design, applications and variations between calculated and observed values will be discussed along the result of our design. Our results and analysis show that the antennas are showing significant gain, so they can be applied for the applications we are aiming for.
