Final Array

A wideband and high-gain circularly polarized (CP) 16 × 16 array antenna based on gap waveguide technology is presented for millimeter-wave applications at 28 GHz frequency range. Four cavity-backed slots with linear polarized (LP) radiation are used as the subarray. CP is obtained by a 4 × 4 sequential feeding network which is also expanded to achieve high gain. The feeding network of the final array antenna consists of two layers based on the ridge gap waveguide (RGW), and it has four unconnected metal layers. It is shown by simulation that the proposed antenna has 20.5% impedance bandwidth over 25.8–31.7 GHz and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth near 10% over 27.2–30 GHz. In addition, the maximum gain value for this antenna is 31.6 dBi at a frequency of 29 GHz, which shows good performance compared to other structures.

This paper presents two designs of high-efficiency polarizer reflectarray antennas able to generate a collimated beam in dual-circular polarization using a linearly polarized feed, with application to high-gain antennas for data transmission links from a Cubesat. First, an 18 cm × 18 cm polarizer reflectarray operating in the 17.2–22.7 GHz band has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The measurements of the prototype show an aperture efficiency of 52.7% for right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) and 57.3% for left-handed circular polarization (LHCP), both values higher than those previously reported in related works. Then, a dual-band polarizer reflectarray is presented for the first time, which operates in dual-CP in the frequency bands of 20 GHz and 30 GHz. The proposed antenna technology enables a reduction of the complexity and cost of the feed chain to operate in dual-CP, as a linear-to-circular polarizer is no longer required. This property, combined with the lightweight, flat profile and low fabrication cost of printed reflectarrays, makes the proposed antennas good candidates for Cubesat applications.
