“…This structure is installed in front of the substrate integrate waveguide horn to achieve a broadband performance. In Moreno et al, 13 a dual‐polarized antenna with large‐angle beam switching is constructed by a dielectric arc‐shaped material and two metal planes. In Dang and Seo, 14 a lens antenna is proposed, in which a parasitic lens is introduced to improve its radiation performance.…”

A miniaturized and high‐gain dielectric lens antenna is presented and demonstrated. The dielectric lens antenna is mainly composed of a spherical dielectric lens, a pedestal, and a radiating element. The spherical dielectric lens is made of a special material called cross‐linked styrene co‐polymer showing an ultra‐low dielectric loss and a stable permittivity. The pedestal is made by the 3D printing technique and used for supporting the dielectric lens. The radiating element is embedded in the bottom of the pedestal, a proper spacing between the dielectric lens and the radiating element is maintained. The proposed dielectric lens antenna shows impedance bandwidth ranging from 24.4 to 25.8 GHz and an excellent directional radiation characteristic is obtained.

“…However, the increase in frequency is also an engineering challenge because the propagation losses grow substantially [3]. The solutions usually proposed are the reduction of communication links, for example, introducing femtocells [4]; and/or using high directivity antennas to efficiently radiate power [5], [6].…”

This paper presents a vertically stacked SIW antenna array that enables different array configurations with the minimum number of SIW layers. This achievement lies in the modular feature offered by the proposed design. Specifically, 4 distinct array configurations can be produced with only 3 different design of SIW layers. Depending on the number of SIW layers employed in the stacked antenna, the directivity in the E-plane of radiation is modified. To obtain an equal and in-phase power distribution among the array elements, H- and E-plane corporate feeding networks are efficiently implemented in each array configuration. Array configurations of 1, 2, 4 and 8 radiating layers are offered by the proposed modular array, where each radiating layer is formed by 8 H-plane SIW horn antennas. The simulated directivity for the array configurations ranges from 15.8 dBi to 23.8 dBi and the main beam direction remains fixed along the operating frequency band. The array design has been manufactured and proper agreement between simulated and measured results are observed. The measured impedance bandwidth in all the array configurations is from 35 GHz to 41 GHz (15.79% bandwidth) with a reduction in the E-plane beamwidth as the number of radiating layers increases.
