SIW HIGH GAIN SLOT ANTENNA FOR WLAN/WIMAX APPLICATION

Abstract

In this paper with using substrate integrated waveguide technology and slot antenna, an antenna array with 8 (2×4) elements has been designed. The antenna substrate is ROGERs 4003 with two different thickness. In lower substrate with 0.5 mm thickness fed network of antenna is putted and upper substrate with 1.5 mm thickness slot in order to radation is embedded. The proposed antenna is designed in C band for WLAN/WiMAX application. Pattern of antenna is directive with peak gain about 18dBi. In feed netowork is used from new method of feeding with using of aperture couple and cavity resonator method
