To avoid the complex, costly and heavy systems currently used to improve the multibeam antenna characteristics as multiple apertures design or enhanced feeds concept, a multifeed and multifrequency EBG antenna is appropriate to illuminate a multibeam single offset parabolic reflector. Indeed, the EBG resonator antenna can achieve directive and interlaced focal feeds in order to obtain maximum reflector antenna efficiency and closely spaced beams. This original property of interlaced radiating apertures is impossible to obtain with horns and is very convenient to improve the reflector antenna performances. A low losses EBG antenna has been realized at 8 GHz to illuminate a focusing antenna with 0.74 F/D ratio. Optimum reflector antenna efficiency of 0.8 and a beams crossover level equal to −3.5 dB have been obtained. The first results of another EBG system at 30 GHz which illuminates a reflector antenna with 2.7 F/D ratio are given.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130404599","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 study takes place in European MIPA project [1] concerning an antenna prototype which is apart of Q band (50 GHz) one-feed-per-beam antenna reflector. In millimetre waves, it is highly required to separate active layer (MEMS, MMIC, ‥) and radiating elements to avoid electrical spurious generated by coupling radiation. This separation is done with a very thick metallic support (2 mm). Moreover, this thick ground plane is important for thermal dissipation aspect. In this aim, the authors present an original feed of antenna array via a H shape thick slot transition. Results of antenna array radiating patterns, power gain and efficiency are given in the considering bandwidth (47.2 to 50.2 GHz).","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123453442","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}

In order to illustrate the relevance of this technique, the equivalent junction model is applied to the full analysis of power absorption in a lossy cylinder close to a current line source.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130139266","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}
