“…[27][28][29][30][31] For instances, using the height-reduced substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique, Zhao et al presented a wideband low-profile Hplane Ridged SIW horn antenna and then obtained an updated version with air-slot to improve the impedance matching bandwidth. 27,28 Such antenna can keep a stable end-fire radiation pattern in the whole working frequency band and suitable for being mounted on the body of high speed moving carriers. Based on the log-period end-fire radiation mechanism and using a special conductor-backed coplanar strip line feeding technique, Hu et al opened a lowprofile log-period monopole array with vertical polarization, 29 which can work from 1.5 to 6.8 GHz with gain larger than 4.5 dBi.…”

A 6–18 GHz wideband cavity‐backed log‐periodic‐slot end‐fire antenna with vertical polarization for conformal application is presented. The log‐periodic folded slots and parasitic slots with 10 slot elements are applied to cover 6–18 GHz frequency band and the log‐periodic metallic cavity is placed under each slot element to keep wideband performance and prevent the effects of large metallic carrier on radiation patterns. The ground plane etched with log‐periodic slots is reversed and touched directly to the backed cavity and a dielectric cover is added to the antenna, to further improve the antenna performance. Meanwhile, a broadband microstrip‐coplanar waveguide transition is inserted in the antenna for measurements. With these designs, the proposed antenna shows good impedance matching (|S11|<27 dB) and end‐fire gain (>4 dBi) performances in 6–18 GHz. The proposed antenna also keeps low‐profile and easy flush‐mounted characteristic which is suitable for conformal applications of high speed moving carriers.

A compact wideband circularly polarized (CP) horn antenna with slot‐coupled feeding structure at Ku band for satellite communication is devised. The proposed design is based on a square aperture horn antenna with two orthogonal ridges, which is fed by nonuniform curved slot along the diagonal of the horn on the bottom cavity. And in order to improve the impedance matching, a staircase typed ridge is connected the feeding probe as a matching network. Moreover, two orthogonal ridges are excited with a tapered slot coupled by the staircase ridges via feeding probe. Wideband CP performance is achieved with an overall physical dimension of 9 mm × 9 mm × 14 mm (0.045λ0 × 0.045λ0 × 0.07λ0 at frequency of 15 GHz). It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed antenna achieves: a wide 10‐dB return loss bandwidth of about 2.4 GHz, a 3‐dB axial ratio bandwidth of 1 GHz, and a peak gain of 6.5 dBi.

“…In [12], an optimization on the spacing between elements is done by using a combination of genetic algorithm and conjugate gradient method for a given pattern and efficiency requirements. SIW can also be used to design other types of antennas, such as H-plane sectoral horn antenna [18], H-plane horn antenna with split rings or rectangular patches and dielectric loading integrated to the aperture [19,20], horn antenna covered with SIW cavity frequency selected surface (SIWC-FSS) [21], conformal H-plane horn antenna on a conducting cylinder [22], substrate integrated E-plane waveguide (SIEW) horn antenna [23], half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) [24], an SIW-based hatshaped dielectric loaded antipodal linear tapered slot antenna (ALTSA) proposed and realized in [25], and leakage antenna [26]. The leaky-wave antennas utilize one of the main characteristics of the SIW, namely, its property to generate radiation leakage when the longitudinal spacing of the metal vias is sufficiently large [26,27].…”

Abstract-This paper presents the design and fabrication of an antenna based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) for intersatellite crosslinks in C-band. The entire antenna consists of two elements of SIW slots array that is fed by a hybrid 3 dB directional coupler. The entire SIW slots array antenna is circularly polarized (CP), and each element has four longitudinal slots. The element's effective field matching is realized with a microstrip to SIW transition. The antenna design has been evaluated with its return loss, gain plot, and radiation pattern characteristics to validate the fabricated antenna. The fabricated prototype antenna radiates a left-handed circularly polarized (LHCP) electromagnetic wave with the peak gain of 5 dB and offers approximately 2% AR bandwidth around 5 GHz.
