The method employed in this characterization is called partial-boundary element method (p-BEM) which provides an efficient technique to the analysis of the structures with multilayered media. To improve the convergence of the Green's function used in the analysis with the p-BEM, we employ a technique based on a combination of the Fourier series expansion and the method of images. Treatment on convergence for the boundary integrals is also described. After this treatment, it requires typically one tenth or one hundredth of Fourier terms to obtain the same accuracy compared with the original Green's function. Numerical results demonstrate the effects on the characteristics of the microstrip line due to the existence of the dielectric ridge as well as the second layer between the ridge and the fundamental substrate.","PeriodicalId":219101,"journal":{"name":"1996 26th European Microwave Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121825483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna consists of two parts, one containing the feed network and the other 256 radiating elements. The radiation pattern of the single radiating element is specially designed to cancel out the sidelobes of the array due to the element spacing larger than one wavelength. The feed network is built by connecting rectangular waveguides with T-junctions. The matching of the T-junctions is improved by using rounded splitters and matching pins in the junctions. A planar antenna for the frequency range 37.0-39.5 GHz has been designed. The measured radiation pattern of a prototype antenna is extremely directive in both the E-and H-planes and a gain of 37 dBi at 39.2 GHz has been achieved. The highest sidelobes are at least 31 dB below the main beam in the H-plane and 15 dB in the E-plane.","PeriodicalId":219101,"journal":{"name":"1996 26th European Microwave Conference","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123463281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a much superior method compared to the common approach using a VCO with a linearization loop, the linearity of which is limited. Our approach enables realization of a relatively low cost, small size sensor with an extremely good linearity.
