“…In [28], metallic vias are introduced along the horn to correct the phase front at the aperture increasing the directivity in comparison with a traditional SIW horn antenna. A similar approach to correct the phase front is used in [29] but, the apertures are loaded with antipodal linearly tapered slot antennas and they are stacked in order to carry out a monopulse antenna. Alternatively, the work in [30] achieves the correction of the phase front by using longitudinal gaps in the upper and lower copper layers and along the H-plane horn antenna.…”

This paper presents a modular substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna array based on H-plane aperture structures for Ka-band. The unitary antenna is based on a SIW aperture antenna with an improved H-plane radiation pattern by means of the implementation of metallic vias in the wave propagation along the H-plane antenna. The inner metallic vias are introduced to form four different sub-apertures at the end of the H-plane aperture antenna, dividing the field from the feeding into four in-phase wavefronts. In that manner, a flatter wavefront is generated to achieve high directivity. Additionally, some periodic parallel strips are printed at the end of the antenna aperture to improve the impedance matching with the air. The Hplane antenna is used as the constituting element for an E-plane array antenna, using four H-plane elements. The E-plane array antenna increases the antenna directivity, providing a pencil-shape beam, based on a series coaxial feeding structure. This feeding strategy favours the antenna modularity at the expense of suffering from a slight beam steering with frequency in the working bandwidth. The proposed antenna has an impedance matching below-10 dB from 32.9 to 37.0 GHz (equivalent to 11.73% bandwidth) with a nearly stable gain of almost 10 dBi for the H-plane unitary element and 14 dBi for the E-plane array. Prototypes of both antennas are manufactured to validate the proposed unitary antenna and array designs.

“…However, a common disadvantage of SIW multibeam antenna is that the BFN is too large. In order to solve this problem, there are generally two ideas: one is to fold the traditional SIW BFN to reduce the circuit size 7,9,10,12‐15,17,20 ; while the other is to develop a new miniaturized BFN 6,11,18 . A folded SIW Cassegrain lens is presented in Reference 17, where a coverage of ±32.4 deg and a realized gain between 16.4 and 18.8 dBi are realized from 27.5 to 28.5 GHz.…”

“…In recent years, due to the rapid development of 5G communication technology, low-cost, small-size, and high gain multibeam antennas have attracted more and more attention. 1,2 Because of the advantages of simple structure and low power dissipation, multibeam antennas with passive beam forming network (BFN) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] appear as promising candidates for 5G mm-wave wireless communication system. Although the leaky wave antennas can implement multiple beams, [23][24][25] which is achieved by changing the frequency, it is not suitable for fixed-band communication systems.…”

A compact folded SIW multibeam antenna array for 5G millimeter wave applications

A novel compact multilayer multibeam antenna array based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is proposed in this letter for 5G millimeter wave (mm‐wave) applications. A multimode beam forming network (BFN) cascaded by phase compensation and coupling structures is folded to make the antenna array more compact. The phase difference between the output ports of traditional multimode beamforming network is very unstable, which would seriously affect the multibeam performance of antenna array. Therefore, the compensating phase shifter adopts the SIW transmission line structure with unequal length and width, which enables the multimode BFN achieving better performance in the bandwidth of 27–29 GHz. Four slot arrays are employed as the radiation structure. The overall structure of the proposed antenna consists of three parts, including a multimode beamforming network, a compensated phase shifter, and an SIW slot array. If these components are cascaded directly, the size of the antenna would be very large and the aperture efficiency will be low. So the proposed antenna is folded into three layers, one part for each layer. The overall antenna size is 66.7 mm × 47.5 mm (6.23λ × 4.44λ at 28 GHz). The antenna array is designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results show that four deflected beams are realized in the band of 27–29 GHz. The radiation beams demonstrate a wide azimuthal coverage of ±48 deg, and a peak gain of 16.8 dBi for Port 1 excitation and 17.3 dBi for Port 2 excitation. The simulated radiation efficiency is better than –2 dB from 27 to 29 GHz. The proposed antenna features a compact size, low profile, good radiation performance, which is well suited for applications in the 5G mm‐wave communication systems.

“…To reduce the return loss, many approaches have been proposed. Reference [14] focused on the structure of its linear tapered array antennas, compared the reflection coefficients of three different structures of the array antenna, and found a maximum −10 dB bandwidth of 0.8 GHz inband, though the bandwidth is not wide.…”

A kind of compact SIW (substrate integrated waveguide) Vivaldi array antenna is proposed and analyzed. The antenna consisted of 4 Vivaldi structure radiation elements fed by an equal power divider with SIW technology. The radiation element is composed of antipodal index gradient microstrip lines on both sides of the substrate. The measured reflection coefficient of the array antenna is less than −10 dB from 8.88 GHz to 10.02 GHz. The measured gain of the array antenna is 13.3 dB on 9.5 GHz.
