Summary :

A circularly-polarized planar array antenna using hexagonal aperture elements is proposed. A 22-element subarray as the basic unit is excited by a corporate-feed circuit located in the lower layer of the double-layered antenna. The hexagonal aperture is designed to achieve a good axial ratio in the boresight. A 1616-element array antenna with uniform element spacing smaller than the free-space wavelength was fabricated by diffusion bonding of laminated thin metal plates for the 60 GHz-band. The high gain of 33.4 dBic is measured with 91.6% antenna efficiency, including losses.
