A new method for suppressing surface waves on a millimetre-wave microstrip array antenna is presented. A 10 × 2 patch array antenna is designed at 77 GHz for W-band radar applications. Complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) has been designed at 77 GHz, etched on the antenna ground plane. Simulation and experimental results are compared in terms of the gain and the side lobe level with and without CSRR. CSRR between series patch antenna array could suppress surface waves effectively so that this approach enhances the gain and reduces the side lobe level. The measured gain improvement in the antenna with CSRR is 2.5 dB. The side lobe level of the antenna with CSRR is reduced up to 3.5 dB lower than antenna without CSRR.
