Abstract
The present invention relates to a half mode substrate integrated antenna structurefor electromagnetic signals, comprising a substratewith a topand a bottom side, said substrate being essentially of a flat shape with a main plane M, a conductive layerarranged on said top and a conductive layerarranged on said bottom side, a series of conductive viasextending between the conductive layersof the top and the bottom side of the substrate so that a waveguide having a feeding endand an antenna endis formed, wherein said antenna endis formed by end regionsof said conductive layersand said substrateso that a radiation pattern of said antenna structureessentially extends in the main plane M.
