A quasi-Yagi slotted array antenna with fan-beam characteristics is proposed for 28 GHz 5G mobile terminals. The antenna is composed of a 1 × 8 slot antenna array with directors to enhance the half-power beamwidth (HPBW). The proposed antenna has a fan-beam radiation pattern with a simulated HPBW of 256.72° and a peak gain of 11.16 dBi. In addition, the proposed antenna covers ±48° using a beam steering mechanism. Mutual coupling reduction is achieved by inserting slits between the adjacent slot radiators on the ground plane. The simulated −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 1.79 GHz (27.03–28.82 GHz), and the mutual coupling between each of the slot radiators is lower than −25.02 dB over the 28 GHz target band (27.5–28.35 GHz). To investigate the effect of a human body in a practical environment, the power density was considered to estimate the electromagnetic exposure with a simplified skin model. The measured results were in good agreement with the simulated ones and demonstrated that the proposed antenna could be used for 5G mobile terminals.

A MIMO antenna composed by microstrip line-fed circular slot antenna is proposed. This antenna is used in ultra-wideband microwave imaging systems aimed for early breast cancer detection. The antenna is designed to operate across the ultra-wideband frequency band in the air. The mutual coupling between the antenna elements has been investigated to be low enough for MIMO medical imaging applications. Both the simulation and measurement results are shown to illustrate the performances of the proposed antenna.

Abstract The dumbbell-shaped longitudinal slot antennas are employed as a replacement for the round-ended longitudinal slot antennas. Each dumbbell-shaped slot is excited by an iris and a septum that have offsets from the waveguide centerlines. All the slots are also cut along the waveguide centerlines. It is demonstrated that the resonant length of the proposed dumbbell-shaped slot antennas is much smaller than the round-ended longitudinal slot antennas. Hence, the end-to-end spacings between the adjacent radiating slots as well as the end-to-end spacings between the coupling and the radiating slots increased noticeably in comparison with the arrays consist of the round-ended longitudinal slot antennas. This fact indicates that one can neglect the mutual coupling between the neighboring slots that are associated with the exciting higher-order modes at the slot positions. To better demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dumbbell-shaped slot antennas, a planar array antenna consists of the proposed dumbbell-shaped slot antennas have been designed, implemented, and tested. The measurement and the simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed slot antennas.

We present the results of the experimental and theoretical study of the resonant properties and noise of a single cell of a receiving system based on cold-electron bolometers (CEB) with a double-folded slot antenna and coplanar lines. The system was designed to receive signals at 220/240 GHz frequencies with a 5% bandwidth. In measurements, we used the samples of the double-folded slot antennas with slot lengths of 162 um and coplanar line lengths from 185 to 360 um. Measurements of the resonance properties of CEB located at 0.3 K cryostat plate were carried out using a generator based on a high-temperature YBCO Josephson junction located inside the same cryostat at 4 K plate. This arrangement made it possible to obtain smooth amplitude-frequency characteristics with a clearly defined peak of a 15–21 GHz bandwidth at different frequencies. Based on these results, 2-D array of double-folded slot antennas with CEBs as 220/240 GHz LSPE channel prototype was calculated.The absorption efficiency of the array has reached 81% and 77% for 220 and 240 GHz channels, respectively.
