Via resonance effects which are caused by via stub and surrounding shorting vias are investigated in this paper by numerical simulation and theoretical calculation from a via-trace model on multilayer printed circuit boards. It is discovered that via stub can significantly worsen electric performance of the via transition and stub resonance can be eliminated by shortening via stub. For the case of a signal via surrounded by shorting vias, the vertical signal current flowing on the central signal via can excites resonant mode of circular waveguide resonator, which also generate via resonance.

A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antenna for 79GHz applications is proposed in this paper. In order to get the high gain and lower losses, the antenna is designed as a sub-array composed with eight slots, which fabricated in the wide side plane of the SIW, and placed along the central axis with the equal interval of half waveguide wavelength. The slots can radiate the electromagnetic energy through the field disturbance caused by the plated-through hole (PTH) positioned beside the slots. The antenna is fed by the 50 û coaxial-fed structure located from the bottom of SIW. This bottom-fed method is different from the traditional microstrip feeding method, it has more convenience to extend the 2-dimensional phased array through multiple independent subarrays in the 79-GHz applications. The simulated results of the subarray indicate that the frequency band with |S11|<−10dB is from 78GHz to 80GHz, and the cross-polarization is lower than −50dB. An array model with 3×5 subarrays is also fabricated and simulated, it is found that the array radiation efficiency can be evaluated larger than 80%, and the patterns are also extremely well qualified. The performances confirm that the proposed SIW slot antenna is suitable for the millimeter-wave electronic systems with the requirement of array antenna.

This letter presents a meander-slot defected ground structure (DGS) for a two-element multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with high isolation. The two-monopole MIMO antenna operates at 1.8 GHz. The reduction of mutual couplings between the monopoles is achieved by suppressing the surface waves on the ground plane using the meander-slot DGS. The designed DGS has a very compact size of 10mm ×14 mm (0.06λ×0.08λ) suitable for practical design of MIMO antenna.

In this paper, a series of parallel-plate dielectric lens antennas (PPDLAs) is developed for the point-to-multipoint communication application. They have advantages of wideband and low profile. The beam scanning in the azimuth plane keeps almost unchanged. Besides, some of the developed PPDLAs have the ability to realize a limited beam scanning in the vertical plane. The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology is employed in the design to construct the feeding network.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a novel wide bandwidth end fire antenna with log-periodic directors. The feeding structure of the proposed antenna includes a balun which is formed using a pair of microstrip to slot line transitions. The proposed antenna has three resonant frequencies in the operating frequency band. Both simulation and measurement results show that the operating frequency band of the antenna for S11 < −10 dB covers the wide bandwidth (5GHz-10GHz), and the relative bandwidth is 67%. Far field measurements in azimuth plane and elevation plane show that the radiation patterns are stable and end fire within the operating band at frequencies of 5GHz, 7GHz, 8GHz, 10GHz. The proposed antenna radiates a well defined end fire beam, with a front-to-back ratio > 20dB and cross polarization level below −29dB. The dimension of the proposed antenna is 26mm × 27mm. Good return loss and radiation pattern characteristics are obtained and measured results are presented to validated the usefulness of the proposed antenna structure for wide bandwidth end fire applications.

A simple, useful, and interesting rule named quasi-1/2 rule is presented to enable a quick estimation on the upper limit of the antenna efficiency. The studied upper limit of the antenna efficiency is based on assumptions that the antenna's power confinement in the near field and the related losses, such as the conductor losses and the substrate losses, can be ignored. In other words, all the received power by the antenna is radiated to the far field. The proposed quasi-1/2 rule is hence purely according to the VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) values; therefore, it is an easy way to do a quick and helpful estimation and guidance without dimensions, structures, materials, etc., involved or known, which is especially beneficial to the antenna designers of cellular phones because of the complexity and uncertainty of the practical antenna environment in cellular phones. Moreover, the final result of the quasi-1/2 rule is just a single number, 1/2, which is very easy, simple, and straightforward to be memorized and applied.
