  • Millimeter-wave surface-mount antenna for gigabit plastic fiber data transport
    Patent number: 12272866
    Abstract: A compact millimeter-wave surface mount helix antenna for high-speed data transport over low-cost plastic fiber is described. Guided millimeter-wave technology enables gigabit transport in the centimeter to meters range, complementing current transport technologies based on optical fibers, coaxial flyover assemblies, and PCB traces. To maintain signal integrity requires an efficient launch of millimeter-waves into the plastic fiber, with low loss and minimum signal impairment. A compact helix antenna provides efficient coupling and wide bandwidth, enabling meter-range copper-grade gigabit transport.
