Abstract (EN): Featured Application Short-range millimetre wave communications. The design of a uniformly spaced 1 x 4 linear antenna array using epitaxial layers of benzocyclobutene over an InP substrate is demonstrated. The array elements are conjugately matched with a uni-travelling carrier photodiode at the input. The phased array is optimised to counteract mutual coupling effects by introducing metal strips with isolated ground planes for each radiating element. The proposed antenna array can provide a gain of 10 dBi with a gain variation of +/- 3 dB. The array operates over a bandwidth of 10 GHz (295-305 GHz) with a wide scanning angle of 100 degrees in the broadside.
