Recently, there has been increasing interest and rapid growth in millimeter wave (MMW) antennas and devices for use in diverse applications, services and technologies such as short-range communication, future mm-wave mobile communication for the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks, and sensor and imaging systems. Due to the corresponding smaller wavelength, mm-wave frequencies offer the advantage of physically smaller antennas and circuits as well as the availability of much wider bandwidth compared to microwave frequencies. It is important to design millimeter wave antennas with high gain characteristics due to their high sensitivity towards atmospheric absorption losses. Moreover, millimeter wave antennas can have wide bandwidth and are suitable for applications in large frequency range. In this thesis, planar antennas are designed using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology to have low losses, high quality factor, and low fabrication cost. Firstly, an antipodal fermi linear tapered slot antenna (AFLSTA) with sine corrugations at the side edges at 32.5 GHz is presented, which has a wide impedance bandwidth greater than 30 %, in order to support the high data rate channels. This antenna has a high gain of 12.6 dB and low side lobe levels (better than - 17 dB) in both E and H planes. This antenna is studied and analyzed in array and beamforming configurations to meet requirements of millimeter wave applications. In order to obtain high gain and narrow beamwidth pattern, a 1 × 8 AFLTSA array using SIW power divider network is presented. The design characteristics of the power divider network are presented in this thesis, which help in calculating the performance characteristics of this array structure. This array has an acceptable bandwidth of 14.7 % (30-35 GHz) with high gain of 20.4 dB and 8.35° 3 dB beamwidth. The side lobe levels are also improved using this SIW power divider network and are lower than -25 dB in E-plane and -15 dB in H-plane respectively. This antenna has a radiation efficiency greater than 93% over the whole bandwidth. The second research theme is beamforming of AFLTSA antenna. This beamforming is performed using multi-beam antenna concept in which the beam is rotated with a help of compact beamforming network and excitation from different input ports. The design methodology for 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 subarray beamforming networks is presented along with their current distributions illustrating the beamforming process. These subarrays possess wide impedance bandwidth between 29-36 GHz. Moreover, these subarrays are able to achieve gain between 12-15 dB with narrow beamwidth reaching till 11°. All the results along with the numerical data is presented in this thesis. This antenna is suitable candidate for millimeter wave wireless communications and imaging systems.

Increasing the carrier frequency is one of the most promising solutions to deliver gigabit data rates in wireless communication systems. Applications like kiosk downloading or wireless high definition video transmission will certainly demand up to 10 Gbps in a few years. As these are highly consumer oriented applications, a low-cost implementation of the system is mandatory, which can be achieved by using planar structures with standard fabrication processes. This research focuses on exploring the relevant technologies for this next generation of millimeter-wave systems capable of multi-gigabit data rates. In millimeter-waves, interconnections play a key role: they are needed in antenna characterization and connection and system integration. Therefore, current and new interconnection structures for millimeter-waves are investigated. In particular, an efficient D band waveguide to microstrip transition for antenna measurement or interconnection is developed. An electromagnetic theory explaining its coupling mechanism is also presented. For multi-gigabit applications, very broad bandwidth antennas are needed. A planar antipodal dipole antenna for 122 GHz which features such broad bandwidth is discussed. Moreover, it was designed to be relatively insensitive to fabrication innacuracies. A transmission line model for the antenna is also presented. Several other antenna structures with different radiation patterns for a variety of applications are also addressed. It is clear from the power budget of a millimeter-wave system that moderate high gain antennas will be needed. Therefore, array structures for current "hot" applications are sketched. Focusing on a particular application, the high definition video transmission, the Quality of Service problem is addressed. This problem comes with the fact that the direct signal path might be temporarily blocked in a regular home environment. To overcome the problem, beamforming with a Rotman lens is proposed. Several antenna demonstrators for this application at 60 GHz were built. In order to correctly measure the antenna structures, a millimeter-wave antenna measurement setup was developed. It is highly flexible and delivers accurate and repeatable results. The system is useful for the measurement of antenna structures at D or V band. Finally, a whole end-to-end millimeter-wave system is discussed by the construction of a full demonstrator for 60 GHz with Quality of Service. The front end consists of transmitter and receiver and is built using off the shelf components. It is fully configurable and adaptable for the utilization of different antennas and beamforming devices, which can be very useful for channel measurement operations.
