Integrated Antenna and Packaging Technology for Future MM Wave Wireless SystemsINTEGRATED ANTENNA AND PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY FOR FUTURE MM-WAVE WIRELESS SYSTEMS Tatsuo Itoh Department of Electrical Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, California, 90095 Final Report 1999-00 for MICRO Project 99-054 Industrial Sponsor(s): Sony Electronics Inc.

ABSTRACT In this report, coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed quasi-Yagi antenna is presented. Two methods for transforming the CPW mode, which feeds the antenna, to coplanar stripline (CPS) mode, which excites the driver dipoles, are presented. Measured results for X-band prototypes using the two transitions are compared. Performance of microstrip quasi-Yagi arrays is also discussed, including an endfire and tilted beam array. Experimental results of an X-band eight element linear array are reported. using an 180 deg. open
