    Moisture content estimation models of flour matrices in the 67-110 GHz frequency range using a nondestructive and contactless monitoring system

    This work addresses the lack of moisture content estimation models for food products in the millimeter-wave frequency range and showcases the potential of this range for designing compact, cost-effective, and in-line food moisture sensors. The moisture content estimation models developed in this study are intended for flour-based mixtures in the 67-110 GHz frequency range and are derived by means of a nondestructive and contactless monitoring system. To this aim, data obtained by continuous-wave (CW) vector network analyzer (VNA) spectroscopy is used to create two different models, both with a coefficient of determination ( R2 ) of 0.97. One model is based on the theoretical response obtained by means of the Looyenga effective medium theory (EMT) model, while the other is based on measured data. Both models have been experimentally validated with root mean square error (RMSE) values of 0.4% and 0.35%, respectively. These small estimation errors show the potential of this frequency range to design compact, cost-effective, and in-line food moisture sensors. This research contributes to improving quality control and monitoring of moisture levels in flour-based mixtures.

    Fully metallic Luneburg metalens antenna in gap waveguide technology at V-band
    (IEEE, 2023) Pérez Quintana, Dayan; Bilitos, Christos; Ruiz-García, Jorge; Ederra Urzainqui, Íñigo; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; González-Ovejero, David; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    This article presents the design of a flat Luneburg metalens antenna at V-band using gap waveguide (GW) technology. The metalens consists of a parallel plate waveguide (PPW) loaded with metallic pins whose height is modulated to get an effective refractive index that follows the Luneburg equation. A Groove GW (GGW) H-plane horn is used to illuminate the metalens, such that the rays are collimated and a planar wavefront is generated in the direction of propagation. Since the structure at hand is planar, it can be efficiently integrated on flat surfaces. Moreover, the fully metallic structure is mechanically robust and presents lower losses than lenses including dielectric substrates. A prototype has been fabricated and tested, simulations and experimental results are in very good agreement. The metalens yields an input reflection coefficient (S11) below −10 dB from 45 to 70 GHz, whereas the −3 dB gain fractional bandwidth is 26.2% with respect to a center frequency of 60 GHz, with a peak of 22.5 dB at 61 GHz. These features make this design an interesting solution for millimeter-wave (MMW) applications.

    Hyperbolic lens antenna in groove gap waveguide technology at sub-millimeter waves
    (IEEE, 2022) Pérez Quintana, Dayan; Biurrun Quel, Carlos; Ederra Urzainqui, Íñigo; González-Ovejero, David; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    In this paper, a flat hyperbolic lens antenna using Groove Gap Waveguide (GGW) technology is designed at 300 GHz. A GGW horn antenna is used to feed the metamaterial lens placed in a parallel plate waveguide (PPW), in order to increase the directivity in the direction of propagation. The combination of both devices, the metalens and the GGW antenna, achieves excellent radiation performance.

    Wideband circularly-polarized gap waveguide-based antenna design
    (IEEE, 2025-03-12) Leoz-Beltrán, Iñigo; Iriarte Galarregui, Juan Carlos; Pérez Quintana, Dayan; Teberio Berdún, Fernando; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Ederra Urzainqui, Íñigo; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza
    This paper presents the design of an all-metal antenna based on Gap Waveguide technology. The antenna, which is realized using a Ridge Gap Waveguide, consists of just two layers, maintaining a compact size. The first layer is made up of two perpendicularly placed arms, which comprise the feeding, and the second layer hosts a diamond shaped slot and a horn, which comprise the radiator. Simulations show that the design achieves a remarkable bandwidth equivalent to the 31.43% of the central frequency in terms of both S11 parameter, being below -10 dB, and Axial Ratio, being below 3 dB.
