Comment on Low-cost 60GHZ phased array antenna

Comments

It can achieve that without a dish because (correct my math if I'm wrong) a full wavelength antenna for 60GHz is 0.1968 inches. So I'm pretty sure the silica includes the antenna.

The antenna is built on a separate substrate, I'm guessing a spread glass such as Rogers RO1200. You can do the aperture calculation here, which for a square aperture at 100% efficiency is 18x18 mm. It's probably more like 75% efficiency.
