The hybrid assembly uses an InGaAs PA with a saturated output power of up to 14.5 dBm and an InP LWA with a peak antenna gain of up to 13.5 dBi and a beam-steering range from -60° to 35°. The hybrid assembly employs a submount that compensates for the height difference of <inline-formula> <tex-math>$approx 300 mu mathrm{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> between the PA MMIC and LWA substrates.

A probe-based measurement setup is used to characterize the hybrid assembly. The hybrid assembly achieves a reflection coefficient of less than -10 dB and a peak gain of up to 26 dBi across the sub- THz range. The beamsteering functionality of the hybrid assembly is successfully validated only in the forward quadrant due to measurement restrictions in the backward quadrant.

The proposed approach expands the mismatch at the antenna-amplifier interface to create a voltage excess, transferred to the matched output receiver using a voltage-type amplifier instead of a power type. Compared with a standard dual-input-output matching, this leads to comparable bandwidth and DC consumption but significantly improves the peak gain, gain-bandwidth-product (GBWP), stability, and noise figure. Experiments with a conventional dipole antenna confirm an improvement factor near two on gain and GBWP. Stability improves by 10°, tending to reach the reference value of 60° phase margin for sound systems. Also, the noise figure significantly decreases by 4.5 dB on average. In addition, the newly introduced performance metric, typically normalized gain-bandwidth-product (NGBWP), dividing GBWP by the average amplifying stage’s gain and the passive antenna’s GBWP, is NGBWP <inline-formula> <tex-math>${=}6.84$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, far higher than the existing works peaking at 2.

In this context, communication between vehicles, as well as between vehicles and satellite navigation systems, base stations, and other infrastructures, is crucial. These communications utilize millimeter wave frequency bands to achieve faster response times and more accurate target tracking and identification. In this paper, the design guidelines of a stacked dual-band (28/35 GHz) substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antenna array are proposed to achieve the optimal aperture reuse ratio and high aperture efficiency. The dual-band array consists of two-layer substrates, and each layer acts as an independent SIW slot antenna array. The upper substrate is composed of nonadjacent SIW slot sub-arrays for the high band operation, while the low band array is located in the lower substrate radiating through the gap between the high band sub-arrays. A dual-band antenna array with an <inline-formula> <tex-math>$8times 8$ </tex-math></inline-formula> array in each band is designed and demonstrated as an example, where the center frequencies of the two bands are chosen to be 28 GHz and 35 GHz. The maximum aperture reuse ratio is achieved by the rational array arrangement, and the improvement in aperture efficiency is accomplished by a periodic grid structure. The measured maximum aperture efficiency reaches 55% and 58% in the desired lower and higher bands, respectively. The measured results of the antenna show superior performance, validating the design guidelines of the antenna topology.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"6 3","pages":"797-809"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10919047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key innovation lies in the anisotropic properties of the cover layer which suppress the excitation of the fundamental surface-wave (SW) mode, effectively mitigating scan blindness within the desired angular range. This suppression mechanism is simply not possible with a conventional dielectric-slab wide-angle impedance matching (WAIM) layer. The anisotropic slab SW suppression key mechanism is analyzed using the transverse resonance technique, yielding design equations for practical implementation. The metamaterial cover uniquely combines a wire medium (WM) slab and an artificial dielectric layer. This combination addresses two critical limitations of wide-angle scanning phased arrays: scan blindness and mutual coupling. The performance of the metamaterial cover is analyzed using the current sheet model and the spectral domain Green’s function of the stratified dielectric media, incorporating a detailed model of the WM slab. Results demonstrate an improvement in scan range across more than 10% fractional bandwidth. To validate the concept, a prototype is fabricated and applied to a home-made <inline-formula> <tex-math>$8times 8$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-element patch-antenna phased array with half-wavelength element spacing and a limited scan range. Crucially, in the E-plane, where surface waves limit performance in the bare array, the scan range is dramatically increased from ±30° to ±50°.

The proof-of-concept radar system offers an enlarged antenna aperture, employing fewer elements and can distinguish targets at an angular separation of only 2 degrees for a bandwidth of 6.25%. This resolution is made possible using a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration from the original sparse array which was implemented and tested using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. More specifically, the total aperture size (of the effective virtual receiver array) is <inline-formula> <tex-math>$23.5lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> which is equivalent to a uniform-linear array (ULA) having 48 elements spaced at <inline-formula> <tex-math>$0.5lambda $ </tex-math></inline-formula> apart.

This defines a cost-effective setup offering a reduction of 16 elements which accounts for a 33% reduction in the number of required channels for the SIW array. Also, the radar exploits sparse-reconstruction techniques for target detection. Results of the simulations and measurements show that the performance of the proposed SIW antenna and experimentally verified radar system can offer competitive high-resolution detection when compared to other findings in the literature and to the best knowledge of the authors, no similar antenna and radar system implementation has been designed and experimentally verified.","PeriodicalId":34267,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation","volume":"6 3","pages":"735-748"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10907910","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
