Abstract-The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology allows to construct several types of commonly used antennas in a planar way. However, frequency limitations associated to commercial substrates appear in the implementation of certain types of antennas, e.g., SIW horn antennas are not well matched when the substrate thickness is much smaller than the wavelength. A printed transition is proposed to overcome this problem. Differently from current solutions, no bulky elements are required allowing to maintain the most important features of this technology namely its compactness and ease of manufacturing. In order to quickly analyze and design the transition, both a coupled resonator and a transmission line models are developed, together with design guidelines. The proposed transition is designed to match a H-plane SIW horn antenna built in a thin substrate at different frequency bands at the Ku-band. Experimental results for 3 different transitions show that the matching characteristics are efficiently improved compared with the conventional SIW horn antenna and validates the proposed models.

“…Another solution which aims to improve the radiation performances of end-fire SIW antennas has been presented in [11]. In this case, the antenna directivity is increased by placing two directors after the horn aperture which focus the radiation at the E-plane.…”

“…For applications involving SICs that require vertically polarized signals radiating at the end-fire, the most commonly used antenna is a H-plane aperture or horn [8]- [11]. However, the performances of this kind of antennas diminish significantly when the substrate thickness is much smaller than the free space wavelength [12], [13].…”

Abstract-The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology allows to construct several types of commonly used antennas in a planar way. However, some practical constraints limit their performances when frequencies below 20 GHz are considered. In the case of SIW horn antennas, the available substrates are much thinner than the wavelength yielding to poor matching and undesired back radiation. In this paper, an innovative structure to overcome these limitations is presented. It consists of a transition printed on the same SIW substrate, which improves both the radiation and the matching performances of conventional SIW horns. The horn shape is also further optimized by reducing its dimensions required for a given directivity. This is obtained by modifying the horn profile in order to effectively combine different TE modes. Guidelines are provided to design this type of thin and compact SIW horn antenna. They were applied to manufacture a prototype in the Ku-band with a substrate thinner than . Measurement results validate the proposed concepts showing excellent performances.Index Terms-End-fire, front-to-back ratio, horn antenna, horn taper, low profile, printed transition, size reduction, substrate integrated waveguide, vertical polarization.

A wideband circularly polarised (CP) cross-aperture-coupled stacked feed antenna array with the top-metal strip via fence based on multilayer low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology is designed and measured for 60 GHz wireless communication applications. The influence of the large substrate and ground size on the radiation patterns of the proposed CP antenna array is investigated. Considering the 10 dB impedance bandwidth, 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth and 3 dB gain bandwidth, the measured results reveal that a wide operating bandwidth more than 17% at the centre frequency of 61.75 GHz from 56.5 to 67 GHz of the presented CP antenna array is achieved.
