“…are frequently used for the satellite communication applications because of their high-gain, resulting from large antenna aperture size [1,2]. In these structures, the classical horn antennas (sectoral, pyramidal, conical horn antennas) and the extensions of horn antennas (corrugated, dielectric loaded horn antennas) are commonly used to feed the parabolic reflector antennas [3,4]. The corrugated horn antennas have been used to obtain low-cross polarization and symmetric radiation patterns in reflector antennas with smaller horn length and aperture with respect to classical horn antennas.…”

and the reflection losses are better than 12 dB throughout the pass band for both cases.In addition, a two-cell CRLH filter is designed at a center frequency of 1.8 GHz and a fractional bandwidth of 110% following the procedure expanded in [10]. The design values of the CRLH unit cell are C R ¼ 0.5 pF, L R ¼ 1.6 nH, C L ¼ 2.2 pF, and L L ¼ 4.3 nH. This gives a À3 dB lower cutoff of f 1 ¼ 0.8 GHz and an upper cutoff f 2 ¼ 2.8 GHz. The circuit was implemented using standard surface mount devices (SMD).To implement the notch filter, the ENZ tunnel is connected to the CRLH filter as shown in Figure 5(b). The CRLH filter along the tunnel structure is simulated using [8]. Figure 7 shows the simulated and experimental S 21 and S 11 responses. The simulated notch frequency is read at 1.85 GHz with a reflection loss of about 26 dB and an insertion loss of 1.3 dB. For the experimental response the return loss is 18 dB at the center frequency (1.94 GHz) and an insertion loss of 2 dB is recorded. The experimental 3 dB pass band is 2.14 GHz (from 1.15 to 3.29 GHz). There is a slight frequency shift of 0.2 GHz to lower frequencies in the experiment compared with the simulation. This frequency shift is thought to be because of parasitic effects of the SMD components, the effects of the vias to ground and the mismatch between the microstrip line width and the width of the SMD components. However, good agreement is observed between simulation and experiment. CONCLUSIONSA miniaturized HM substrate integrated ENZ tunnel has been demonstrated. It was shown that this structure allows only one frequency to tunnel through because of the static-like behavior when epsilon is near zero. Subsequently, the tunnel was connected to a CRLH filter in a decoupling mode to reject unwanted frequencies. Good agreement is seen between experimental and simulated results. ABSTRACT: In this study, a dielectric corrugated antenna, as being a feed horn antenna of the reflector antenna for satellite communication applications, is analyzed. The structure consists of a conical dielectric corrugated antenna terminated with a conductor hyperbolic (convex) plate. The antenna system provides a Gaussian beam within wide frequency bandwidth with its dielectric structure. The antenna is simulated and tested for its return loss and radiation performances, and the satisfactory results are obtained for C band satellite communication applications.
