ABSTRACT In this paper, a modeling technique to calculate the external mutual coupling between inclined slots cut in the narrow wall of a rectangular waveguide is presented. A voltage source is inserted across the center of the first slot opening to excite one of them and a monitor on the second one captures the voltage. To eliminate the internal coupling between slots, an absorbing slab is inserted between two slots in the waveguide. The coupling between two slots cut in the narrow wall of a WR-284 waveguide is simulated at 3 GHz and the effect of waveguide wall thickness, slot width, slot angle, and spacing between slots is investigated. Based on our numerical results, a mathematical expression to approximate the external coupling is obtained. In order to verify the results experimentally, a real thin absorber is fabricated and placed between two slots, which are realized in a WR-284 waveguide. Finally, the coupling between the two slots is measured in terms of S-parameters and then converted into a coupling factor. The measured results are shown to have an acceptable agreement compared to the simulation results. The coupling from the simulation is 0.45 at 3 GHz, while this value occurs at 3.1 GHz in the measurement.

ABSTRACT This paper proposes a design of dual-band bandpass filter with a high selectivity and a wide stopband, by using two ring type hairpin resonators. The equivalent circuit of the used resonator is analyzed through the analysis of odd and even modes. The designed filter can achieve dual passbands at 2.4 GHz and 3.65 GHz for wireless local area network (WLAN) and 5 G communication systems, with transmission zeros at 2.9 GHz and 5.1 GHz, realizing high selectivity. With a wideband bandstop filter on the input port, a wide stopband from 4.6 GHz to 17.3 GHz is realized.

ABSTRACT In this article, a metal-only reconfigurable reflectarray antenna (RRA) is proposed for generation of diversified circular-polarization (CP) focused beams and mode-agile vortex beams in the X-band. The proposed RRA element has the 3-D metal-only configuration, which consists of three staircases with different heights, a turntable, a latch, and a base. By rotating the proposed RRA element in 45° steps, the ability of 1-bit phase quantization with orthogonal linear polarization (LP) reconfigurability can be realized. Then, a 26 × 26-elements reconfigurable reflectarray antenna feeding by a linear polarization horn antenna is designed to enable free conversion of line-to-circle polarization at the array level. Full-wave simulations show that the diversified circular-polarization beams can be synthesized by adjusting the aperture element distribution. Furthermore, a manually reconfigurable reflectarray antenna prototype is fabricated to obtain the actual performance of the synthetic LHCP focused beams. The measured maximum gain of the LHCP beams is 27.1 dBi, with the aperture efficiency of 24.2% where the beam point at 20°, and the 1-dB gain bandwidth is 18.0% (9.3 GHz − 11.1 GHz). Finally, mode-agile vortex beams can also be realized by using the proposed reconfigurable reflectarray antenna, and the simulated results show that the mode purity of vortex beams are all above 35% in different modes, and the maximum gain of the vortex beams is 21.1 dBi, with aperture efficiency of 6.1% where the mode of vortex beams is −1.

ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates a novel configuration of half mode substrate integrated waveguide HMSIW bandpass selective filter based on Hilbert cells as DGS. Two 50-Ohm conventional micro-strip are used as feed lines. The filter is designed and optimized using CST Software, Where a parametric study is used to optimize its geometric parameters. In our design, six periodic Hilbert cells are used, which are work collectively with three transverse slots to generate the desired resonance frequency. The used dielectric substrate is FR4 with a relative permittivity of 4.3. The proposed filter operates at the frequency of 3.25 GHz with an insertion loss about of −2 dB and a rejection extended from 1 GHz to 3.2 GHz and from 3.4 GHz to 7 GHz respectively for the lower and the higher sides with a level more than −35 dB. The filter is fabricated and measured, where the obtained measurements show a clear crystal similarity with the simulated results. The proposed filter is considered for TD LTE applications.

ABSTRACT In this paper, a novel, compact, low-profile miniaturized stacked Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) for wideband applications is proposed. The design consists of two dielectric resonators of different dielectric constant stacked together. The Dielectric Resonators (DRs) are fabricated on the top side of the substrate (Taconic RF-35) with an inverted-trapezoidal patch as a feeding mechanism. The proposed configuration offers a wide impedance bandwidth of about 76.8%, covering the frequency range from 4.85 GHz to 10.88 GHz with TE21δ mode and TE23δ second higher-order mode being observed at the resonant frequencies of 6.14 GHz and 10.52 GHz, respectively. Peak gain of 8 dBi at 10.2 GHz is observed. The proposed antenna provides a wide impedance bandwidth, high radiation efficiency with smaller electrical size, and low profile of 0.19λg , where λg is the wavelength of the lower cut-off frequency.

ABSTRACT In this study, a 2-bit coding metasurface is proposed, which can achieve ultra-wideband radar cross section (RCS) reduction under arbitrary polarized incidences due to phase cancellation. In the design process of the 2-dit coding metasurface, a novel polarization conversion metasurface (PCM) is proposed at first, which can realize ultra-wideband circular-polarization (CP) maintaining reflection; moreover, when its unit cell structure is rotated by an angle ψ, ±2ψ Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase will be generated in its co-polarized reflection coefficients under CP incidence. Thus, based on the PCM, an ultra-wideband 2-dit coding metasurface is conveniently proposed. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the coding metasurface has excellent RCS reduction performance. Compared with a pure metallic plate with the same size, its RCS can be reduced more than 10 dB under normal incidences with arbitrary polarizations in the ultra-wide frequency band of 6.9–33.1 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 131%. Moreover, when the incident angle is increased to 45°, the RCS reduction performance can be kept well. Finally, one laboratory sample of the coding metasurface is fabricated and measured, a reasonable agreement is observed between the measured and simulated results.

ABSTRACT In order to meet the development requirements of multi-frequency and functional integration of radio frequency (RF) modules, a broadband tunable filtering power divider with center frequency is designed. A new structure is composed of open branch line, step impedance resonator, and double branch resonator. The filter response is realized by branch line and double branch resonator. The resonant frequency of the device can be adjusted flexibly by controlling the varactor diode loaded on the two resonators with external voltage. The double branch resonator can realize the broadband frequency adjustability, the step impedance resonator can improve part of the return loss performance of the device, so that the central frequency can achieve high performance in a wide tuning range. The research results show that the center frequency of the designed filtering power divider is adjustable in the range of 1.6 GHz to 2.7 GHz, the tuning bandwidth is 51.2%, the input return loss of each center point is better than 20 dB, and the isolation between output ports is better than 19 dB. The device is expected to be widely used in RF communication systems such as array antennas and transceiver components.

ABSTRACT A novel broadband circularly polarized square-slot antenna with parasitic elements is presented in this article. The proposed antenna with dimensions of 77.6 × 77.6 × 1.6 mm3 is composed of a L-shaped strip, a pair of rectangular slots, a L-shaped branch, and an inverted L-shaped feeding line. First, a pair of rectangular slots are used to excite an impedance resonance point that appears near 4.8 GHz and improve the axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW). Second, a L-shaped strip etched into the square-slot ground plane is used to enhance the ARBW. Third, a L-shaped branch is inserted into the inverted L-shaped feeding line to improve the impedance matching at high frequencies. At a result, the multiple circularly polarized (CP) resonant points could be excited by using these slot and strips as perturbation elements to alter the surface current distribution of the antenna. To demonstrate the design rationality, a designed antenna model is simulated, manufactured, and measured. The tested results show the proposed antenna has a wider −10-dB impedance bandwidth from 2.6 to 6.6 GHz (86.9%) and a broad 3-dB ARBW from 2.35 to 5.80 GHz (84.7%). In addition, the measured peak gain of the antenna is 4.8 dBi. The presented antenna has a potential application value in C band wireless communication.

ABSTRACT In this letter, a new wideband circularly polarized (CP) slot – microstrip patch antenna (SPMA) is elaborated. The proposed antenna consists of four crown patches as parasitic patches, an L-shaped crown slot etched into the ground plane as a parasitic slot, and a circular loop sequential rotating feeding structure (SRFS) as a driven element. First, four crown patches are used to stimulate a CP resonance. Second, the L-shaped crown slot is applied to excite an additional CP resonance. After that, the CP bandwidth of the antenna could be enhanced by combining these CP resonant modes. The measured results demonstrate that the antenna features a wide CPBW of 14.8% (5.30–6.15, 5.725 GHz), which has a potential application value in the WIFI (5.85–5.925 GHz) bands and the wireless local area network ITS (5.8 GHz) and (5.725–5.85 GHz).

ABSTRACT This article presents a circular microstrip patch antenna loaded with three complementary split rings (CSRRs) on the ground plane for pattern agility features. The antenna resonated at 5.3 GHz and accommodated the frequency spectrum from 5.1–5.7 GHz for different CSRR combinations. The reconfigurable pattern feature has been produced with three p-i-n diode combinations integrated with the CSRR slot on the ground patch. The CSRR combinations are utilized to change the radiation phase concerning the primary radiating circular patch. The proposed antenna radiation beam can steer from ±15°, 180°, and 0° of the broadside pattern in the elevation plane with a satisfactory gain of 3 dBi. The phase variation for various CSRR combinations concerning the primary antenna is presented. The presented antenna is fabricated on an FR4 substrate and tested in an anechoic environment; the tested results verify the pattern agility of the antenna. The demonstrated antenna is suitable for modern wireless communications like LTE and Cognitive radios. The compact size, simple biasing, and low cost are added advantages of the antenna.
