The work below reports the design, microfabrication and characterization of a broadband patch antenna along with the design and microfabrication of multifunction reconfigurable antenna (MRA) in its static form excluding active switching. The first design is a patch antenna where the energy is coupled with a conductor-backed (CB) coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed loop slot, resulting in a broad bandwidth. The feed circuitry along with the loop is formed on a quartz substrate (at 60 GHz), on top of which an SU-8-based three-dimensional (3D) structure with air cavities is microfabricated. The patch metallization is deposited on top of this structure. The second design is a CB CPW-fed loop slot coupled patch antenna with a parasitic layer on top. The feed circuitry along with the loop is formed on a quartz substrate. On top, the patch metallization is patterned on another quartz substrate. The parasitic pixels are deposited on top of these two quartz layers on top of an SU-8 based 3D structure with air cavities. © 2015 EurAAP.English60 GHz communicationsAntenna measurementsAntenna radiation patternBeam steeringMulti-functional reconfigurable antennasParasitic based antennasPattern reconfigurabilityAntenna feedersAntenna radiationCoplanar waveguidesDesignDirectional patterns (antenna)Frequency bandsMetallizingMicroanalysisMicrofabricationMicrowave antennasQuartzSlot antennasWaveguidesReconfigurabilityReconfigurable antennaMicrostrip antennasConference Paper
