In this paper, a compact and broadband integrated transition between a laminated waveguide in a multi-layer Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) substrate and a metallic rectangular waveguide (RWG) is presented. A Ka-band prototype of the proposed broadband transition is designed and fabricated in an LTCC substrate. The simulated and measured results of the prototype transition show excellent agreement. It has been demonstrated, through the experimental results of the Ka-band prototype, that the proposed transition configuration gives an effective bandwidth of over 8% with -15 dB return loss and average -0.4 dB insertion loss over the bandwidth in the Ka frequency band.

A fast and accurate computer-aided design (CAD) tool of passive devices in rectangular waveguide technology including cylindrical conducting posts is fully described. This tool is based on the boundary integral-resonant mode expansion (BI-RME) method and a multimode integral equation technique, thus resulting numerically efficient and therefore very appropriate for iterative optimization procedures. The advantages of the new CAD tool have been proved with the successful design of a tunable inductive filter, a dual-mode filter with tuning screws, and a very wide band mode-launcher with a 45/spl deg/ conducting post.

This paper presents a concept for a dual polarised slotted waveguide antenna to be used for satellite based wind scatterometer antennas. The antenna is based on horizontally polarised slots waveguides in the narrow side of rectangular waveguides, standing next to ridge waveguides with vertically polarised slots. Instead of the usual arrangement with a coupling waveguide that distributes the RF power to the radiating waveguides, a barline network is used, providing significant advantages in terms of volume, mass, possible excitation coefficients and thermal stability.

In the present paper we theoretically consider coupling of transverse electric waves TE/sub n,0/ and TE/sub 0,m/, propagating in a rectangular waveguide formed by planes x=0,R and y=0,L. The wall with y=0 is supposed to have frequent and not deep corrugation and a thin magnetized ferrite film on it. Such a surface may be approximately described by small anisotropic surface impedance. Diagonal elements of impedance tensor w are caused by gyrotropy of transversally magnetized film and by a tilt of corrugation relative to longitudinal axis.

A novel rectangular-waveguide-to-coplanar-waveguide transition is described. The transition uses a ridge in one of the broad walls of the waveguide and a nonradiating slot in the opposite wall to split and rotate the electromagnetic fields of the rectangular waveguide TE/sub 10/ mode into the coplanar waveguide (CPW) fields. This transition should permit the use of CPW-based circuits in the millimeter-wave frequency range and the development of microwave probes above 50 GHz for fast and inexpensive testing of the millimeter-wave circuits.< >

A new slot array antenna is presented which is based on triangular waveguide. The modes and the leakage of an imperfectly fabricated waveguide are examined by simulation, and this helps to identify a low cost structure. The slots are in the two side walls of the triangular waveguide. A 5-element, equally-excited antenna array is designed and simulated for 2.4GHz. The gain is 9.2 dBi and the -10dB impedance bandwidth is over 3%. The advantage of this array configuration is its simplicity, low cost and good performance.

This paper describes a procedure to obtain the equivalent-admittance representation of a slot in a waveguide. The approach is general but it is particularly interesting for periodic waveguides because it does not require to know the waveguide's Green's function nor to properly define the ports in such waveguides. The procedure is demonstrated on a well-known rectangular waveguide.

We describe a TEM horn phased array radiator with a novel microstrip feed. Because the field profile in the TEM horn is uniform in amplitude and phase, multiple microstrip feeds can be inserted into a single radiator and their signals combined uniformly by the TEM horn; this particularly attractive feature makes possible low loss, wideband transmit power combining in the radiator rather than in the microwave module. Unlike Vivaldi notch and tapered slot antennas, the TEM horn radiator field configuration resembles that of a rectangular waveguide radiator and should have high cross-polarization rejection. Using a commercially available finite element analysis tool, we have designed in detail a dual-polarized array aperture operating from 1 to 5 GHz using this radiator. The element spacing supports full quadrant scan over the entire band of operation with a predicted scan VSWR less than 3:1 up to 52 degrees in elevation. Our simulation predicts better than 25 dB cross-polarisation rejection in the principal planes.

A novel CPW-to-waveguide transition utilizing a uniplanar quasi-Yagi antenna is presented. The X-band back-to-back transition demonstrates 33% bandwidth with return loss better than -10 dB. This transition should find a wide variety of applications due to its high MIC/MMIC compatibility and low cost.

The single-element DRA has been well studied but its antenna gain is limited to -5 dBi. In some applications a higher antenna gain may be required. Therefore, researchers have to design different types of DRA arrays to improve the antenna gain performance. Choosing an appropriate spacing between elements of the array, as well as proper phasing of the currents feeding individual sections, one may obtain various specialized radiation patterns with enhanced antenna gain. In this paper, an aperture-coupled single-element DRA is first studied and designed. Next, 2/spl times/2 and 4/spl times/4 arrays with all elements feeding in phase are designed. An infinite DRA phased array is investigated experimentally using a C-band rectangular waveguide termination.
