A Ku-Band SIW six-port

Dual-band Six Port Receiver Module on Silicon

This article details the design of six-port direct conversion front-end module for dual-band (1.575GHz and 2.680GHz) applications. Proposed planar architecture consists of single-stage (1:2) Wilkinson Power Divider and three numbers of quarter-wave 3-dB branch-line couplers working simultaneously at dual band of frequencies. Present article describes the designing of each building block and fin...

The Ku-band Polarization Identifier

The Ku-band Polarization Identifier (KUPID) will integrate a very low noise 12-18 GHz, correlation polarimeter onto the Crawford Hill seven meter, millimeter-wave antenna. The primary components of the polarimeter will be built at the University of Miami and other key components, including the microwave horn and data acquisition system will be built at the University of Chicago and Princeton Un...

Design of a Wide Band Eight-way Compact Siw Power Combiner Fed by a Low Loss Gcpw- To-siw Transition

Ultra wideband components have been developed using SIW technology. The various newly developed components include a GCPW transition, Y and T-junctions. The GCPW transition covers over 10GHz bandwidth with less than 0.4 dB insertion loss. The optimized T and Y-junctions have relatively wide bandwidths of greater than 40% that have less than 0.6 dB insertion loss. The developed transition was ut...

A New Structure for 6 Bit Distributed MEMS Transmission LinePhase Shifter in Ku Band

In this paper a new design for 6 bit DMTL phase shifter with only 32 MEMS switches is proposed. The reduction in number of switches in ordinary 6 bit phase shifter from 63 to 32 is due to combination of one 5.625 degree for least significant bit and 11.25 degree for the rest of the switches. Decreasing the number of the switches reduces the die-size as well as loss of the CPW line. Analytical s...
