To realize single side band self-heterodyne scheme with small size, these antennas have built-in 5stage waveguide filters. The antenna gain of more than 25dBi is measured for 8x8 element antenna, and the loss of 5stage filter is less than 1.0dB. Overview

5. doc.: IEEE 802.15-04/0097r0-mmwi Submission March, 2004 Reed Fisher, Seiji Nishi OkiSlide 5 In the ad-hoc access system, there are two wireless links, AP(access point) to AP link and AP to MT(mobile terminal) link. For the AP to AP link, as the wireless link is P-P, high gain antenna is required. In the AP to AP link, two channels are used. For the AP to MT link, the broad radiation angle antenna is required. The circular polarization is also required for free setting position of MT. We developed 8x8 elements antenna with linear polarization for AP to AP link, and 2x2 elements antenna with RHCP for AP to MT link.

Axial ratio, AR(dB), can be calculated from the S21 of RHCP, S21(dB)(RHCP), and LHCP, S21(dB)(LHCP), using the following equations, L/R=10 (S21(dB)(RHCP)- S21(dB)(LHCP))/20 AR(dB)=20xlog((1+L/R)/(1-L/R)) where L is the electric field strength of LHCP, and R is the electric field strength of RHCP. In the figure, the measured S21 for RHCP and LHCP are shown as a function of frequency for 2x2 element antenna. The measured S21 for RHCP is the relative antenna gain. From the figure, a very wide 3dB bandwidth of the antenna gain can be seen. The 3dB bandwidth of antenna gain is from 62GHz to more than 75GHz. In the figure, the calculated axial ratios of 2x2 element antennas are shown as a function of frequency.

19. doc.: IEEE 802.15-04/0097r0-mmwi Submission March, 2004 Reed Fisher, Seiji Nishi OkiSlide 19 We developed the 2x2 element circular polarized (RHCP) antenna with built-in filter for 70GHz band ad hoc wireless link, and 8x8 element linear polarized antenna with built-in filter for 60GHz band wireless link and good characteristics are obtained. The antenna gain of 8x8 element antenna is as large as 25.5dBi without filter. The loss of the filter for 70GHz band wireless link in pass band is lower than 1.0dB. The rejection for USB is larger than 30dB. These results confirmed that the circular waveguide array antenna is suitable for broadband millimeter-wave wireless system. Also we realized very small size antenna with built-in filter. The size of the 2x2 element antenna with built-in filter is 40mmx24mmx11mm, and that of the 8x8 element antenna is as small as 45.6mmx45.6mmx11mm Conclusion
