A Mode-Matching Technique (MMT) with Generalized Scattering Matrix Method (GSMM) are deployed to design and analyze H-plane SIW crossover operating at 26 GHz for 5G beamforming networks applications. The introduced crossover has an 0 dB transmission over more than 4 GHz bandwidth. During the MMT formulation, the crossover structure is divided into two symmetrical cascaded parts with each part having multi-port bifurcated sections. Due to the symmetrical structure, analyzing one half of the coupler with MMT has been sufficient for full analysis. The obtained S-parameter results from MMT are compared with full-wave CST simulator results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
