Bandwidth Enhancement using Polymeric Grid Array Antenna for Millimeter-Wave Application

A new grid array antenna designed on a polymeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate is presented. A good relative permittivity of the PDMS substrate increases the antenna bandwidth. The PDMS surface is also hardened to protect the proposed grid array antenna’s radiating element. A SMA coaxial con...
