This paper was accepted at the 5th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation - EuCAP 2011 ( www.eucap2011.org ), Rome, Italy, 11-15 April 2011 and won the best paper award in the category “Antenna Applications”.

Kurzinfo: The unlicensed 60 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band provides a wide bandwidth for wireless high data rate communication systems. To optimally utilize these millimeter wave data transmission channels, exploiting orthogonal polarizations is a crucial enhancement. Along with the increase in data rate, improvements of the robustness of communication links in wireless local/personal area networks (WLANs/WPANs) can be achieved adopting the dualpolarization approach. Adjustment of the proper antenna gain is essential for meeting a specific link budget. We have designed, fabricated, and characterized a patch antenna array utilizing orthogonal polarizations in planar multilayer technology.
