| Abstract: | A new millimeter-wave omnidirectional dielectric rod metallic grating antenna is investigated theoretically and experimentally, in this paper. The radiation characteristics of the antenna are carefully investigated by a rigorous formulation for the TE01-mode and TM01-mode excitation in the Ka-band frequency range. Based on the analysis, an omnidirectional antenna excited by the TE01 mode is designed and measured. The measured results are compared with theoretical predictions and good agreement is found. Extensive numerical results are given to establish some useful guidelines for the design of the omnidirectional antenna |
