This paper describes the design and realization of a transition from a microstrip line to a ridge gap waveguide operating between 95 and 115 GHz. The study includes simulations, measurements, and a Monte Carlo analysis of the assembly tolerances. The purpose of this tolerance study is to identify the most critical misalignments that affect the circuit performance, and to provide guidelines abou...

Abstarct--This article provides an accurate and computationally efficient method for the analysis of aperture coupling from microstrip line to microstrip patch, which is of significant interest in applications involving multilayered media. The accuracy of this method is ensured by satisfying all the boundary conditions through a mixed electric–magnetic current integral equation formulation, com...

In this paper, the Koch fractal shape is applied for the first time to microstrip bandpass filters integrated on a high-resistivity Si substrate. By using this method, the second harmonics of the filter can be suppressed to about -40 dB. Conventional microstrip coupled line filters are popular in RF front ends, because they can be easily fabricated and integrated with other RF components. Howev...

Abstract—The paper presents integrated probe for direct coupling to the WR-10 waveguide with the use of metal filled vias on both sides of the microstrip line. Design and optimization of this novel microstripto-waveguide transition has been performed using 3-D finite element method based software HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator). A back-to-back transition has been fabricated and measur...

In this decade, compact bandpass filters are essential components in microwave systems for passing desired signals and suppressing unwanted signals. Microstrip bandpass filter is rapidly going up in the design and fabrication in RF front-ends of wireless communication systems. The microstrip structure is well-known because of its light weight and simple design method. As knowing, the bandpass f...

In this paper, compact antenna has been designed that can be implemented in a 2X2 Multiple-Input MultipleOutput (MIMO) system. A microstrip patch antenna fed by a microstrip line is designed for a frequency of 2.4 GHz used for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band applications. Polarization diversity of the two antennas is used to construct independent and uncorrelated signals on each a...

The analysis and new results of the resonance frequency and pattern fields of microstrip antennas array, with superconductor patch, for different very high critical temperatures, are presented. The linear superconducting rectangular microstrip antennas array use the new materials Sn5InBa4Ca2Cu10Oy at temperature of 212 K, conductivity of 1.88x10 S/m and Tl5Ba4Ca2Cu10Oy at temperature of 233 K w...

Abstract—In this paper, ultra-wideband and miniaturization, technique for the microstrip monopole patch antenna (MMPA) in wireless applications is presented. Ultra-wideband was achieved by using printed modified ground plane on a dielectric substrate with 50Ω microstrip feed line. This technique allows the bandwidth of the MMPA to be ultra-wideband with satisfactory radiation properties and red...

A new class of broadband microstrip filters for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications is proposed. In the design, different stages of parallel-coupled microstrip line and other stages with a Modified Complementary Split Ring Resonator (MCSRR)-a concept proposed here for the first time-are adjusted to obtain the desired response with broadband, sharp rejection, low insertion loss, and low return lo...

This paper presents a novel approach to design a line feed microstrip antenna for wide-band operation. The proposed microstrip antenna has been presented wide bandwidth of about 59.50% covering the range 1.552 GHz2.867 GHz which is suitable for DCS/UMTS applications. It has also been observed that for the wide-band frequency configurations studied and the proposed antenna has been designed and ...
