In this paper a new low profile Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) probe-fed H-plane horn antenna structure with improved gain is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of two waveguides including a rectangular and a taper one, in which both, first and third modes of the structure are simultaneously excited leading to a uniform field distribution along the radiating aperture of the antenna a...

The environment of confined spaces such as tunnels and coal mines is complex changeable. When the wireless signal propagates in it, it will be affected by reflection diffraction shaft wall, which puts forward higher requirements for radiation beam mine antenna. In this paper, corrugated horn antenna model selected to design a whose pattern almost equal Gaussian beam. Starting from expression be...

A rectangular pyramidal horn antenna fabricated with tapered dielectric E-plane boundary walls whose inner surface is periodically loaded with thin conducting strips is investigated. For better impedance matching, at the throat region of the horn antenna, 3 cm portion is metallised. The radiation characteristics of this horn antenna are compared with that of an identical conventional horn anten...

The design strategy to stabilise the phase centre (PC) of conventional horn antenna using a shaped dielectric rod is presented for aperture efficiency improvement space-fed antennas. In most practical antennas, PC location has significant variations with frequency leading error loss and reduction over bandwidth interest. To overcome this drawback, based on physical reasoning, rods appropriate e...

In this paper, a novel corrugated structure at the edges of the Vivaldi substrate is presented. Compared with the Vivaldi antenna without corrugated structure, the new structure has a better radiation pattern. While compared with the traditional corrugated structure, the new structure has a better front-to-back ratio (F/B ratio). Properly chosen thickness and dielectric constant of substrate en...
