Abstract- This paper presents a low profile, wideband E–
shaped patch antenna for a 60 GHz communication system. Two
slots are placed into the antenna to provide wide-band
characteristics. The proposed antenna can provide a peak gain of
9.2 dBi with 22.5% of 3-dB gain bandwidth and 22% of wide
impedance bandwidth. The simulated and measured radiation
pattern is also presented.

Index Terms — 60-GHz, V-band, E-shaped patch antenna,
Low-profile, Wideband
