An apparatus and a method for electromagnetic signal transition, comprising the steps of receiving an electromagnetic signal having a first physical characteristic arranged to be compatible for the electromagnetic signal to be transmitted on a transmission structure, and transmitting the electromagnetic signal to a substrate integrated waveguide, wherein during the transmission of the electromagnetic signal to the substrate integrated waveguide, the first physical characteristic is converted to a second physical characteristic arranged to be compatible for the electromagnetic signal to be transmitted on the substrate integrated waveguide.

Apparatus and a method for electromagnetic signal transition

A planar differential aperture antenna that has a high gain and wide bandwidth at a millimeter wave band is provided. The differential aperture antenna has a cavity within it that has a height of roughly a quarter of a wavelength of the desired transmission band. The cavity is H-shaped, and has a cross shaped patch within the cavity that is fed differentially by two grounded coplanar waveguides. Two ends of the patch extend towards the ports on either side of the differential aperture antenna, and the other two ends of the patch extend into the cavity lobes, perpendicular with respect to the ports.

Differential planar aperture antenna

Electromagnetic (EM) mode transition or transducer structures and related devices, techniques, and methods are described. An exemplary EM mode transition or transducer structure can comprise a waveguide cavity section configured to transmit a transverse electric mode 20 (TE) mode of the EM waves. An exemplary EM mode transition can further comprise a fundamental mode rejection section configured to suppress or reflect a transverse electric mode 10 (TEmode) and a transverse electric mode 30 (TE) mode of the EM waves.

Electromagnetic wave mode transducer

A low loss and compact power divider/combiner is provided for high power efficiency. The power divider/combiner can be an N-way coaxial-waveguide cavity power divider/combiner with good characteristics of low loss and compact size. The power divider/combiner can be comprised of a coaxial common port, a radial-waveguide cavity, and N-way probe outputs. In various embodiments, the power divider/combiner can have a plurality of probe outputs that are equally spaced radially around an axis on which the coaxial common port is located. The radial-waveguide cavity and N-way probe outputs can be fabricated on a substrate board using printed circuit technology. In addition, the power divider/combiner can have reversed probe outputs which provide for 180 degree out of phase outputs between the probe outputs.

N-way coaxial waveguide power divider/combiner

A circularly polarized antenna exhibiting a high performance characteristic can be produced by utilizing a ground plane, a half-loop, and an electric dipole in a predetermined configuration. The circularly polarized antenna can provide benefits, such as wide axial ratio bandwidth, high gain, and simple structure, over other unidirectional circularly polarized antennas.
