Compact multiaperture couplers for ultra-wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) operation are presented, employing an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) for radiation-free performance. Elliptical coupling apertures are used to enable efficient operation across a 50% bandwidth, while fixed elliptical matching patches are employed for any coupling level to achieve matching levels exceeding −19 dB. Minimal phase and amplitude variation are achieved over 15 dB directivity within coupling ranges from 3 to 20 dB. Validation through fabrication and testing of two packaged lines with different aperture configurations confirms practicality and efficiency.
本文介绍了用于超宽带毫米波(mmWave)工作的紧凑型多孔径耦合器,该耦合器采用人工磁导体(AMC),具有无辐射性能。椭圆形耦合孔径可在 50% 的带宽范围内实现高效运行,而固定椭圆形匹配贴片可用于任何耦合电平,以实现超过 -19 dB 的匹配电平。在 3 至 20 dB 的耦合范围内,15 dB 的指向性可实现最小的相位和振幅变化。通过对两条具有不同孔径配置的封装线路进行制造和测试,验证了其实用性和效率。

In the above letter, Park and Eom applied a Fourier-transform technique to the analysis of H-plane parallel-plate T-junction. However, the letter has some incomplete relations, and lacking a fundamental theoretical discussion. Moreover, the proposed solution fails to track edge singularities. This comment aims to apply some corrections and demonstrate the deficiency of the proposed solution.
在上述信件中,Park 和 Eom 应用傅立叶变换技术分析了 H 平面平行板 T 型连接。然而,这封信中存在一些不完整的关系,缺乏基本的理论探讨。此外,提出的解决方案未能跟踪边缘奇点。本评论旨在应用一些修正方法,并说明所提方案的不足之处。
