“…Bull's eye antenna, in the form of resonant aperture surrounded with annular concentric corrugations, has been shown to achieve these desired features . Although, Bull's eye antennas in 3D printing were mostly developed for V‐band applications where manufacturing tolerances severely affect the antenna production, they can be as well applied to Ku‐band applications where low‐profile and light‐weight features for on‐the‐move satellite communication terminals become crucial . Tapered slot‐fed antenna structures have shown to exhibit wideband and relatively high‐gain antenna features .…”

A novel three‐dimensional (3D) printed, wideband, and low cost bull's eye antenna is proposed and designed for Ku‐band applications. The proposed antenna covers entire Ku‐band satellite communication bands starting from 10.5 GHz to 14.5 GHz. The antenna structure consists of dual‐cavity radiating aperture surrounded by a circular groove. With the addition of cavity and corrugation, the antenna gain is increased more than 6 dB. The antenna is fabricated using 3D printing technology and conductive painting. Measurement results indicate that the antenna has 72% fractional bandwidth from 8 GHz to 17 GHz. Measured antenna peak gain is 13.5 dBi at 13 GHz and no less than 11.5 dBi throughout the entire Ku band.

Novel designs of miniaturized multi‐band 1 × 2 patch antenna array with electromagnetic band gap (EBG) for wideband operation are presented in this article. The proposed patch array is composed of three unequal arms fed by CPW‐to‐slotline transitions to widen the impedance bandwidth with multiple resonances. By adding two conventional mushroom‐type EBG (CMT‐EBG) structures on both sides of 100 Ω slotline transitions, the compact wideband patch array (first design) is obtained. This proposed design with CMT‐EBG includes two bands with the measured ranges (S11 ≤ −10 dB) of 6.65‐6.95 GHz (C‐band) and 8.57‐11.53 GHz (X‐band). Moreover, the proposed 1 × 2 patch array with the 3 × 3 CMT‐EBG array on the one side of the structure (second design) operates at multi‐bands with the measured −10 dB impedance bandwidths of 5.80‐5.98 GHz, 6.25‐6.47 GHz, and 8.48‐11.52 GHz. The second design compared to the first design introduces a considerable size reduction with more resonance tuning capability. The performance of the proposed designs is analyzed based on the EBG band gap properties near the slotline transitions. These designs with the EBGs indicate prominent features like resonance tuning capability, acceptable miniaturization, and enhanced impedance bandwidth with low‐fabrication cost. In this study, an equivalent circuit model of the proposed first design with EBG is also offered to describe the properties of multi‐band operation.

Abstract-This paper presents a design of wideband and low-profile linear array of H-plane horn antennas. In order to construct the linear array in H-plane, the aperture size of the horn antenna in the H-plane should be comparable with one wavelength in the free space, which leads to a poor impedance matching especially in the lower frequency range. The approach to the problem is removing the side walls of the flare part of the antennas. The array is fed by a wideband 4-way ridged SIW power divider. The designed array operates from 5.6 GHz to 18 GHz for VSWR 2.5 and exhibits stable radiation beam with a narrow beam-width in H plane over the same frequency rang while retaining the antenna array height of only 4 mm (0.17λ 0 at the center frequency). The designed array is fabricated and tested. It is observed that measured results agree well with simulated ones.
