A COMPACT Ka-BAND BROADBAND WAVEGUIDE- BASED TRAVELING-WAVE SPATIAL POWER COM- BINER WITH LOW LOSS SYMMETRIC COUPLING STRUCTURE

چکیده
A compact Ka-band broadband waveguide-based travelingwave spatial power combiner is presented. The low loss micro-strip probes are symmetrically inserted into both broadwalls of waveguide, quadrupling the coupling ways but the insertion loss increases little. The measured 16 dB return-loss bandwidth of the eight-way back-toback structure is from 30 GHz to 39.4 GHz (more than 25%) and the insertion loss is less than 1 dB, which predicts the power-combining efficiency is higher than 90%.

Broadband millimetre-wave passive spatial combiner based on coaxial waveguide
A broadband millimetre-wave passive spatial combiner using a microstrip probe array and an oversized coaxial waveguide is successfully designed and tested. The equivalent circuit approach of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) lines is adopted to synthesise the coaxial stepped impedance transformer from a K connector with the oversized coaxial waveguide and to analyse the microstrip probe array.

متن کاملImproving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
متن کاملMultioctave Spatial Power Combining in Oversized Coaxial Waveguide
We describe a multioctave power-combiner structure using finline arrays in an oversized coaxial waveguide. The spectral-domain method (SDM) is used to compute the propagation constant in this structure, and is verified with HFSS simulations. The SDM method is then employed to synthesize broad-band tapered impedance transformers in finline for coupling energy to and from a set of monolithic micr...

In the paper, wideband antenna arrays aimed at microwave imaging applications and SAR applications operating at Ka band were designed. The antenna array feeding network is realized by a low-loss SIW technology. Moreover, we have replaced the large feed network comprised of various T and Y junctions by a simple broadband network of compact size to more reduce losses in the substrate integrated w...
متن کاملMulti-layer System-on-Substrate for Ka-band Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Detection Sensor
Presence of Foreign object debris (FOD) at airport runways is an immense threat to flight safety. Such objects may cause potential damage to the aircraft especially during the take off and landing. This paper introduces the design of a low-cost Ka-band FOD radar sensor adopting state-of-the-art system-on-substrate (SoS) approach. Contrary to the reported single-layer SoS design approach, multi-...
