Hybrid Array Antenna for Broadband Millimeter-Wave Applications

Abstract: Abstract-A hybrid array configuration suitable for wideband millimeter-wave applications is presented in this work. The proposed structure is based on the use of circular waveguide elements electromagnetically coupled trough circular apertures to a stripline distribution network. The adopted excitation mechanism avoids the use of transition components generally reducing the overall antenna efficiency. Simulated and measured results on a K a -band prototype are discussed to prove the wideband radiation behavior. Show more

“…With the introduction of ceramic material that comes with several attractive features in 1980s, Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) has become an interesting candidate for 5G applications [13]. Other advantages of the DRA include its small size, light weight, flexible excitation, and relatively wide bandwidth compared with a microstrip antenna [14][15][16][17]. Studies in [18] show that the comparison between dielectric resonator antenna, and microstrip antenna performance at 35 GHz provides impedance bandwidth for microstrip antenna with only 2.6%; however, DRA achieves 6 times higher impedance bandwidth which is 15.6%.…”

“…As it is well known, signal wavelength becomes shorter as the frequency increases, so smaller antennas (which are inversely proportional to carrier frequency) can be used at millimeter frequencies to give the required gain overcoming attenuation effects [3]. There are many challenges for the millimeterwave circuits such as the necessity of low-cost, and high powerefficiency, and of accurate models using computer aided design.…”

“…There has been a growing demand for indoor short-range communication systems such as millimeter-wave wireless personal area networks (WPANs) to provide high-speed multimedia data services in recent years [1][2][3]. It is commonly known that delay dispersion due to multipath propagation results in significant channel degradation.…”
