“…Consequently, mm-Wave antenna systems are required to provide high gain and high efficiency [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Various approaches and implementations of radiating elements have been proposed for the mm-wave frequency bands, including flexible antennas [ 6 , 7 ], 3D printed antennas [ 1 , 11 ], microstrip patches and slots [ 2 , 4 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] and conventional DRAs on printed circuit board (PCB) technology [ 3 , 5 , 9 ]. Printed antennas, i.e., patches and slots, are intrinsically narrowband and suffer from conductor losses as well as the likely excitation of surface waves, both of which lead to lower efficiency.…”

A millimeter-wave dielectric resonator antenna array with an integrated feeding network and a novel alignment superstrate in Low Temperature Cofired Ceramics (LTCC) technology is presented. The antenna array consists of 16 cylindrical DR antenna (CDRA) elements operating at 28 GHz for mm-Wave 5G applications. The array is fed by an inverted microstrip corporate feeding network designed and built in the same LTCC stack as the resonators. A grooved and grounded superstrate is introduced to facilitate the alignment of the individual array elements while enhancing the overall performance of the antenna array. The performance of the proposed stack is evaluated numerically and compared with measured data. Measured results show an impedance bandwidth of 9.81% at 28.72 GHz with a maximum realized gain of 15.68 dBi and an efficiency of 88%, and are in excellent agreement with simulations.

In this paper, a high power, air suspended stripline (SSL) T junction power divider at L band microwave frequencies is introduced. The power divider operating frequency is centered at 1.3 GHz. In this new configuration, the only dielectric used is air to have maximum power handling capability. An excitation transition from coaxial cable to the SSL transmission line is explained. The SSL was fabricated using aluminum sheets to gain the advantage of low cost. The power divider design was validated using circuit and 3D full wave simulations and confirmed using experimental measurements with all agreements. It has been proved that the power divider attenuation has sharp rejection characteristic at the designed frequency (−20 dB at 1.3 GHz). The power divider can be used as a feeder for devices used in high power applications.

“…Introduction: Microstrip antenna arrays have been widely used for different applications due to their superiority in terms of light weight, low profile, low cost, ease of fabrication and their conformability to the mounting surface [1]. However, this kind of arrays also suffer from some limitations: (i) they radiate efficiently only over a narrow band of frequencies; (ii) they tend to generate high levels of sidelobes due to amplitude and phase inaccuracies of individual elements, radiations from feed network and fabrication errors [2].…”

Reduced aperture low sidelobe patch array

et al. 2018

This Letter presents the design of a reduced aperture low sidelobe 4 × 4 patch array whose aperture is much smaller than that of a conventional 4 × 4 patch array since the spacing between adjacent elements is less than l o /2. Low sidelobes are achieved without implementing an aperture distribution. This results in more efficient patch elements of the array and therefore the overall gain is higher than that of a conventional array of the same aperture. Moreover, as patches are seriesfed, the width of feed lines is not limited by patch impedances and no matching transformer is required in the design. The experiment shows that a gain of 15.3 dB at 16.5 GHz and a sidelobe level of −16.7 dB in the E-plane and −15.1 dB in the H-plane are achieved.
