A high performance antipodal Fermi taper slot antenna based on unique synthesized dielectric is presented for ultra‐wideband radar applications at 60 GHz band. Specifically, the synthesized dielectric is implemented based on machined holes concentrates only at aperture area to improve its mechanical robustness for lengthy antenna. Further, it is able to suppress back lobe level by 2.5 dB through curving tapered end of the antenna. Concurrently, sine corrugations and dielectric loading are adopted to improve radiation pattern and gain of the antenna for over 20 dB.
