Dielectric resonator probe arrays with sectoral hard horn for wideband spatial power combiners/dividers
نویسنده
چکیده
Analysis of dielectric resonator probe (DRP) arrays operating in an oversized hard waveguide with sectoral hard horn excitation is presented. A single DRP excited by a coaxial probe is first investigated inside a hollow rectangular waveguide and a waveguide loaded with hard walls, respectively. Simulation results are compared with measurement results and show a good agreement. Then, a one-dimensional DRP array is analysed inside a dielectric-loaded, oversized waveguide with sectoral hard horn excitation. A full-wave analysis based on the region-by-region finite-difference time-domain technique is applied for the optimisation of array parameters such as inter-element coupling, active reflection coefficients and uniform excitation. Numerical results are compared with those generated by using commercial software and exhibit a very good agreement.

متن کاملNumerical Modeling and Experimental Study of Probe-Fed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna (RDRA) Supported by Finite Circular Ground Plane
Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have received increased interest in recent years for their potential applications in microwave and millimeter wave communication systems. DRAs are normally used with the support of a ground plane. The radiation and impedance properties therefore depend not only on their physical dimensions and dielectric properties, but also on the size of the ground plane. ...
