Abstract
Radial line slot antennas (RLSAs) are designed for high gain millimetre: wa ve systems. Two types of RLSA are tested in the 60GHz band: one is the conv entional structure consisting of three separate parts, two conducting disks and a foaming dielectric material, while the other is a PTFE substrate whi ch seems to be more suitable for mass production. The antenna characteristi cs are measured in the 60GHz band and an excellent efficiency of 50% at 33d Bi is obtained.
