A high end-fire gain, low-profile surface wave antenna with capacitive feed structure is presented in this paper. The proposed dielectric-metal surface wave antenna is composed of a dielectric slab that is mounted on a metal carrier and a low-profile feed structure. The feed structure is composed of a monopole radiation pin that is loaded with a circular metal plate and a grounding pin. The profile height of the antenna is only one-tenth of the operating wavelength. With a good end-fire performance and low profile, the antenna is very suitable to be conformally mounted on the surface of flight vehicles. The proposed antenna was designed and manufactured at the center frequency of 6 GHz. Measured results demonstrated that the proposed antenna had a bandwidth of 7.33%, ranging from 5.89 to 6.33 GHz, and the antenna reached a high gain of 9.76 dBi with a length of 122.96 mm (2.45 λ) in the end-fire direction.

Low profile and simple configuration are advantageous for RF module in passive millimeter-wave imaging system. High sensitivity over broad operation bandwidth is also necessary to detect right information from weak signal. We propose a broadband layer-structured module with low profile, simple structure, and ease of manufacture. This module is composed of a lens antenna and a detector module that consists of a detector circuit and a broadband microstrip-to-waveguide transition. The module forms a layer structure as a printed substrate with detector circuit is fixed between two metal plates with horn antennas and back-short waveguides. We developed a broadband passive millimeter-wave imaging module composed of a lens antenna and a detector module in this work. The gain and the antenna efficiency were measured, and the broadband operation was observed for the lens antenna. For the detector module, peak sensitivity was 8100 V/W. Furthermore, the detector module recognized a difference in the absorber’s temperature. The designs of the lens antenna and the detector module are presented and the RF performances of these components are reported. Finally, passive millimeter-wave imaging of a car, a human, and a metal plate in clothes is demonstrated in this paper.
