Dual-Polarized Microstrip Antenna with Cross Grid Structure Radiating Towards the Edge of the Substrate in the D-Band

This paper proposes a dual-polarized antenna for D-band applications, which radiates in the substrate end direction. The antenna's radiating elements and ground are formed using vias, via lands, and copper foil. The radiating element features a cross-grid design, which combines both cross and grid shapes. This allows for the adjustment of the resonant frequency for each polarization, even under manufacturing rule constraints. The characteristics and operation of a singleelement antenna were demonstrated through simulations. Subsequently, the gain of an 8-element array was compared between measured and calculated values, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed antenna.
