摘要：

This paper presents 30-GHz linear-tapered slot antennas (LTSA) and 94-GHz constant-width slot antennas (CSWA) on synthesized low dielectric constant substrates (epsilon(r) = 2.2), The performance of tapered-slot antennas (TSA) is sensitive to the effective thickness of the substrate. We have reduced the effective thickness by selectively machining holes in the dielectric substrate. The machined substrate antenna radiation patterns were significantly improved independent of the machined hole size or lattice as long as the quasi-static effective thickness remained the same, even if the hole/lattice geometry is comparable to a wavelength. The method was applied at 93 GHz on a CSWA with excellent radiation pattern improvement, making it suitable for f/1.6 imaging array applications.
