Where GRx and GTx are the gains of the receiving and
transmitting antenna arrays, PRx and PTx are the powers received
and transmitted respectively. Because the two antenna arrays
are identical, GRx is the same as GTx and both are equal to the
gain of the tested antenna array GT (GRx = GTx = GT). The power
ratio of the received and transmitted powers (PRx/PTx) equals to
the square of the voltage gain S12 or S21 which can be measured
directly from the VNA.
Fig. 6 (a) shows the simulated and measured |S11| and the
peak gain of the tested antenna array respectively. The good
matching to 50-ohm is achieved with the |S11| less than -10 dB
within the frequency range 5568 GHz. The measured peak
gain in Z-direction is 12.8-15.6 dBi between 57 and 66 GHz
with the maximum peak gain of 15.52 dBi at 59.8 GHz. The
measured gain agrees with the simulated gain.
