Antenna Design and Development for mm-wave Systems

Millimeter-wave antenna design principles across SIW, DRA, and OAM approaches

Millimeter-wave antenna technology demands design methodologies that span multiple approaches, from planar structures to advanced resonator and waveguide configurations. Antenna Design and Development for mm-wave Systems delivers a structured treatment across 9 chapters, progressing from RF spectrum fundamentals and communication system principles to detailed analysis of specific mm-wave antenna architectures for current and future wireless communication systems.

Chapter-by-chapter analysis covers distinct antenna designs including microstrip antennas, slot antennas, and substrate integrated waveguide antennas within the planar category. Coverage extends to mm-wave dielectric resonator antennas, SIW-based configurations, and orbital angular momentum-based antennas. Each design section addresses procedures and methodologies connecting foundational theory to implementation for emerging wireless applications.

Readers will also find:

• Discussion of how recent mm-wave antenna findings are shaping future developments in wireless communication system architectures and deployment
• Coverage of reconfigurable intelligent surface technology and its role in next-generation mm-wave antenna system design
• Design procedures that progress from foundational RF spectrum concepts to advanced phased array antenna configurations
• Analysis of dielectric resonator antenna characteristics specific to mm-wave frequency bands and their performance tradeoffs
• Examination of orbital angular momentum-based antenna principles applied to spectral efficiency improvements in mm-wave links

Designed for graduate and research students in microwave engineering and related disciplines, as well as engineers working in the wireless communications industry, this book provides the design procedures and analytical frameworks needed to develop mm-wave antennas across multiple architectural approaches for advanced communication systems.
