    摘要: Radio-frequency component including several waveguide devices, for example antennas or polarizers, arranged in an array for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic signals. The radio-frequency component includes several ridges and each waveguide device includes: at least one inner wall; an upstream opening in the direction of propagation of the signals during emission; and a downstream opening in the direction of propagation of the emitting signals, linked to the upstream opening so that the emitting signals are transmitted from the upstream opening to the downstream opening. The arrangement of the ridges in the openings upstream of the radiofrequency component may be different from the arrangement of the ridges in the openings downstream of the radio-frequency component. The arrangement of ridges in the downstream openings of each waveguide device includes no more and no less than three ridges.

    摘要: An antenna device (1) and an antenna stack (20) comprising at least two antenna devices are disclosed. The antenna device comprises a leaky wave antenna structure comprising a waveguide structure (2) extending in a first plane along a first axis (101), wherein the waveguide structure comprises two opposite end portions (3) along the first axis, and a first feed point and a second feed point arranged at opposite end portions of the waveguide structure. The antenna device further comprises a dispersive lens structure (6) having an edge extending along the waveguide structure in the first plane, the dispersive lens structure having an extension along a second axis (102) extending in the first plane in a second direction perpendicular to the first axis. The waveguide structure further comprises a plurality of discontinuities along an interface between the waveguide structure and the dispersive lens structure for leaking electromagnetic energy into dispersive lens structure.

    摘要: A single-layer substrate integrated directive broadside beam leaky-wave antenna is provided. Opposite ends of a leaky-wave structure are fed with anti-phase versions of a common signal, resulting in broadside frequencies being set apart from the open stopband. To achieve this, the common signal can be split into two equal length paths, one including a perfect electrical conductor (PEC) reflector and the other including a perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) reflector. Alternatively, the common signal can be split into two paths which differ in length by a half wavelength. A power splitter and feed horns can be used in the respective paths. The leaky-wave structure may have transverse slots which increase in width toward a midpoint of the structure. The antenna can be formed in a single planar portion of a lithographic structure, for example by patterning an upper conductive layer thereof.

    摘要: In an example embodiment, a waveguide device comprises: a first common waveguide; a polarizer section, the polarizer section including a conductive septum dividing the first common waveguide into a first divided waveguide portion and a second waveguide divided portion; a second waveguide coupled to the first divided waveguide portion of the polarizer section; a third waveguide coupled to the second divided waveguide portion of the polarizer section; and a dielectric insert. The dielectric insert includes a first dielectric portion partially filling the polarizer section. The conductive septum and the dielectric portion convert a signal between a polarized state in the first common waveguide and a first polarization component in the second waveguide and a second polarization component in the third waveguide.

    摘要: Various methods, apparatus, devices and systems are provided for electrically short antennas for efficient broadband transmission. In one example, among others, a system includes a segmentally time-variant antenna and a segment controller that can control conductivity of individual segments of the segmentally time-variant antenna. The conductivity of the individual segments is modulated to allow a pulse to propagate from the proximal end to the distal end of the segmentally time-variant antenna and impede a reflection of the pulse from propagating back to the proximal end of the segmentally time-variant antenna. In another embodiment, a method includes injecting a pulse at a first end of a segmentally time-variant antenna and modulating conductivity of individual segments to allow the pulse to propagate to a second end of the segmentally time-variant antenna and impede a reflection of the pulse from propagating back to the first end.
