Analysis of on-board antenna modules for the Millimeter-wave Intra-Connect System

We conducted a basic study of Millimeter-wave Intra-Connect Systems from the aspects of module implementation and transmission characteristics. We made small transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) modules with on-board Yagi antennas using a resin material, and investigated the characteristics of the antennas. We also studied the relation of the transmission characteristics to module arrangement and the use of parallel metal plates as a simple case model. We confirmed extension of transmission distance by using the Yagi antenna with gain and sandwiching the modules between parallel plates.
