Abstract

In this paper, we present the design, simulation, fabrication, and measurements of an on-chip dielectric resonator (DR)-fed millimeter-wave high-gain antenna system with in-antenna power combining capability. A low-profile resonant cavity antenna is fed by four spherical DR, showcasing the antenna’s multi-feed capabilities. Each DR is fed by two microstrip resonators located diagonally opposite on a planar circuit board and are excited via coaxial connectors. The design incorporates a printed partially reflecting superstrate, reducing the antenna’s overall size and profile while simultaneously enhancing directivity by approximately 10 dB at the design frequency of 30 GHz. The antenna exhibits wideband matching. Key performance metrics, such as directivity, gain, beamwidth, and bandwidth, predicted by full-wave electromagnetic simulations align well with the results from experimental measurements.
