A Wide-Angle Beam Scanning Antenna in E-plane for K-band Radar Sensor

In this paper, a K-band antenna with ±60° beam scanning is proposed for a mmWave (millimeter-Wave) radar sensor. Especially, we take advantages of the magnetic dipole principle, and design the antenna by employing via holes in three sides, so as to form a cavity which can be eq...
