Abstract
A simple, uniplanar, reduced surface-wave twin arc-slot antenna element for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) integrated circuit antenna systems is presented. This design allows for almost complete surface-wave cancellation and reson ance to be achieved simultaneously. Measured far-field radiation patterns o n an electrically thick substrate are in very good agreement with theory an d show little evidence of surface-wave propagation.
