This study deals with a design procedure and achieved parameters of a microstrip patch antenna array fed by a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) operating at V-band. The antenna array consists of 6×8 microstrip patch antennas which are aperture coupled with an SIW-based feeding network. The antenna design is performed in a full-wave electromagnetic solver (ANSYS HFSS) for the operation frequency 60 GHz. The design procedure of the proposed antenna array comprises the analysis of an isolated radiating element, the synthesis of a linear array, and the development of an SIW-based power divider. At the operation frequency 60 GHz, a fabricated prototype has an impedance bandwidth of 1.8% for a reflection coefficient lower than -10 dB, a gain of 21.6 dBi, and a low sidelobe level below -23 dB in the E-plane and H-plane.
