In this paper a dual band and high gain H-plane horn antenna implemented by substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) using a single layer thin substrate is introduced. The proposed antenna consists of five parts of rectangular waveguide with different width arranged in a staircase manner to allow mode combination of fundamental and higher propagating modes of the structure. By adjusting the length ...

An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which do...

High gain antennas have many applications in wireless communication systems as they produce focused and narrow beamwidth, which allow for more precise targeting of the signal. Therefore, various gain enhancement techniques for antennas have been studied in the past decades [1–21]. Specifically there are three important methods to achieve this purpose: (1) Using antenna array, (2) Adding superst...

This paper presents the design of a tri-mode matched feed horn to remove the beam squinting effects in a circularly polarized offset parabolic reflector antenna. In a conical horn, three modes i.e., TE11, TM11 and TE21 are combined in proper amplitude and phase proportion to obtain a tri-mode matched feed configuration. The proposed tri-mode horn is then used as a primary feed device to illumin...

A wideband high-gain circularly polarized (CP) shaped dielectric horn-lens antenna (SDHLA) operating in the frequency band between 6.7 and 18.2 GHz [fractional impedance bandwidth (FIBW) of 92.4%] with a 3-dB axial-ratio range from 8.1 to 16.3 (FARBW) 67.2%], is presented. The antenna, composed suitably horn, integrated super-ellipsoidal-axicon lens made out stacked thin disks, mounted on print...

We are developing integrated and receivers antennas for terahertz applications. As the remote-sensing/radio-astronomical frequencies are pushed higher into the millimeter and submillimeterwave regions, integrated antennas and receivers become competitive with standard waveguide receivers. The integrated receivers consist of an antenna integrated directly with a matching network/mixer. Integrate...

A cooperative program between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the National Bureau of Standards will result in the gain measurement of a horn antenna using three different techniques: a two-antenna insertion loss measurement, a pattern integration method, and a near-field measurement method. This article describes the application of the pattern integration method and also the evaluation of the...

A W-band dual-polarized Cassegrain antenna for cloud radar is proposed. The aperture diameter of the main reflector of the antenna is 50 cm. By using a modified Magic-T structure in the feed horn, the antenna is dual-polarized with high port isolation. The measured results show that the port isolation is 44.7 dB. The gains are 47.3 dB and 49.5 dB for the two ports at 94GHz, respectively, and th...

The paper presents the design and fabrication of a H-plane substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) horn antenna. The antenna operates at 60 GHz band and is equipped with a SIW-to-WR15 transition. Experimental results prove that the antenna achieves the gain of 11.5 dBi and the impedance bandwidth of 14 % for the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB. The antenna was designed with the help of CST...
