Lobby 1 Chair: Tudor Palade (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania) , Stephan Stanko (FGAN-FHR, Germany) 2.1 SIWSeries Fed RDRA Array System for Millimeter-Wave Applications Wael Abdel Wahab (University of Waterloo, Canada); Safieddin Safavi-Naeini (University of Waterloo, Canada); Dan. Busuioc (University of Waterloo, Canada) A simple, low cost novel series feeding scheme to rectangular dielectric resonator antenna linear array (RDRA) is proposed at millimeter wave frequency range. The coupling to resonator is achieved through narrow slots cut on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) broad wall excited by the waveguide dominant mode. 2.2 Design of multilayer stacked patch array with waveguide feeding network for high power SAR system. Saray Sanchez Sevilleja (INTA, Spain); Juan Ramón Larrañaga Sudupe (INTA, Spain) A multilayer stacked patch antenna for high power SAR system has been designed. This antenna is fed by a waveguide feeding network. It works in Ku Band with a bandwidth of 2GHz. Expected results have been obtained. 2.3 A new astronomical receiver for ASTROPEILER Stephan Stanko (FGAN-FHR, Germany); Anke Pagels (FGAN Research Institute for Applied Science, Germany); Winfried Johannes (FGAN-FHR, Germany) We describe the development and design of the new 21-cm Receiver for the 25-m ASTROPEILER radio telescope located on the Stockert, near Bad-Münstereifel, Germany. 2.4 Terahertz conical horn antenna Di Li (University of Liverpool, UK, United Kingdom); Yi Huang (University of Liverpool, United Kingdom); Yao-Chun Shen (University of Liverpool, United Kingdom) This paper presents a new structure of photoconductive antenna which consists of a photoconductive emitter and a conical horn antenna. This kind of structure can radiate THz wave into desired direction. The simulated and measured results are used to support the theory in this paper. 2.5 Elliptical Ring Slots Antenna for Wireless Personal Area Network Abbas Ali Lotfi Neyestanak (Islamic Azad University, Shahr_e_Rey Branch, Iran); Arghavan Emami Forooshani (University British Columbia, Canada) In this paper a novel design approach of the elliptical elliptical ring slots Antenna is presented. Details of the antenna design approach is presented and discussed. This Antenna has a stripline feed structure that eliminates the above limitations of probe-fed patch antennas. Simulation Result illustrates about 7.3% fractional bandwidth. 2.6 G-band Bowtie Dipole Antenna Adel Emhemmed (Glasgow university, United Kingdom); Khaled Elgaid (Glasgow, United Kingdom) we have proposed 3D micromachining 210GHz elevated bowtie dipole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide. The antenna is designed for MMICs applications at G-band. The antenna is composed of coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed line, air-bridges, a feeding post, supporting posts, and a radiators. 2.7 Measurement of a 60 GHz Antenna Array fed by a Planar Waveguide-to-Microstrip Transition Integrated in Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramics Frank Wollenschläger (Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany); Matthias Hein (Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany) The frequency range around 60 GHz imposes challenges for the experimental determination of the radiation patterns of the antennas. We have designed, fabricated, and applied a low-loss planar waveguide-to-microstrip transition for measurements of the radiation pattern of a 60 GHz 2x2 patch antenna array.
