“…Since the antenna has no frequency-sensitive elements, so performance bandwidth is limited only by the feed waveguide.

In this paper, an ultrabroadband linear array in which horn‐reflector antennas are used as radiating elements by adding a central ridge to the rectangular waveguide, leading to an increased bandwidth of 3:1. With a reflector embedded in the H‐plane sectoral ridged horn, a desired narrow beam can be easily achieved. Moreover, due to the compact enclosed structure, the proposed reflector array can not only eliminate the illumination loss but also significantly reduce size compared with those of conventional array‐fed parabolic cylinder antennas. Good agreement between the calculated and measured results is obtained, showing that the proposed antenna array has a high aperture efficiency of about 80%, a ±45° scanning range in the E‐plane and 5° beam coverage with low side lobes in the H‐plane within the frequency range of 6–18 GHz.

“…These antennas are then desired to have stable high-gain performance, which enables them to effectively receive signals that are extremely weak due to high path loss. The preferred solution satisfying these requirements is a large-aperture reflector antenna with a feeder at the focal position [6], [7]. In such a reflector antenna, the The associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Pavlos I. Lazaridis .…”

In this paper, we propose a metal 3D printed double-ridged horn antenna with a truncated cone feeding structure, curve-shaped cavity, and mode suppressor for a feeder of a reflector antenna. The truncated cone feeding structure is employed to obtain symmetrical patterns, and the curve-shaped cavity is implemented to obtain broadband characteristics. The mode suppressor is then applied to maintain a stable bore-sight gain. To simplify the manufacturing and assembly process, the proposed antenna is designed with only two parts and is fabricated using metal 3D printing technology. To verify the performance of the antenna, the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), bore-sight gains, and radiation patterns are measured in a full anechoic chamber. The measured VSWR shows a maximum of 3.0 and an average of 1.9 from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. At 2 GHz, the measured bore-sight gains in the radiation pattern are 5.37 dBi for copolarization and −20.7 dBi for cross-polarization. The measured radiation patterns are in good agreement with the simulated results.INDEX TERMS Double-ridged horn, reflector antenna feeder, broadband antenna, 3D printing.

“…Wireless communications demand light and compact antennas of inexpensive and biofriendly manufacturing, with good gain values, high efficiency, and, in some cases, operating in multi-bands or on a wideband [1]. The use of printed circuit board (PCB) antennas can satisfy almost all the requirements and reduce the design costs [2]. However, PCB antennas have the disadvantage of producing considerable pollution due to the needed lithographic process.…”

In this paper, we present a dual-band antenna working at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The design is based on two radiating rectangular slots with one upper Split Ring Resonator (SRR) to enhance the radiation pattern at 5.8 GHz, one Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR), and three Split Rings (SR) to improve the input reflection coefficient. The dual-band antenna covers the 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. The total size of the proposed antenna is 31 × 70 × 70 mm3. The proposed antenna was manufactured and tested. The attained gain is better than 7.5 dBi, and 6.5 dBi at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The measured gain and input reflection coefficient have good correlation with the simulated results, covering the ISM bands around 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The performance of the proposed antenna is remarkable and suitable for applications where the size is not a severe limitation, such as sensors, LPWAN/WLAN modules, health care devices, base stations, IoT, and control applications.
