    60 GHz single-layer slot-array antenna fed by groove gap waveguide
    (IEEE, 2019) Ferrando Rocher, Miguel; Valero Nogueira, Alejandro; Herranz Herruzo, José I.; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    A V-band single-layer low-loss slot-array antenna is presented in this letter. Radiating slots are backed by coaxial cavities, which are fed through a groove gap waveguide E-plane corporate feed network. Cavity resonances are created by shortening nails with respect to the surrounding ones. This fact enables a compact single-layer architecture since coaxial cavities and feeding network can share the same bed of nails. A 16 x 16 array is designed, constructed, and measured to demonstrate the viability of this concept for high-gain single-layer slot-array antennas. In addition, this solution can be extended to circular polarization by seamlessly adding a polarizer above the slots without changing the feeding network piece. Measurements show a relative bandwidth of 10% with input reflection coefficient better than -10 dB and a mean antenna efficiency above 70% within the operating frequency band (57-66 GHz).

    Reduced loss and prevention of substrate modes with a novel coplanar waveguide based on gap waveguide technology
    (MDPI, 2023) Biurrun Quel, Carlos; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    The Gap Waveguide technology utilizes an Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) to prevent the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves under certain conditions, resulting in various gap waveguide configurations. In this study, a novel combination of Gap Waveguide technology and the traditional coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line is introduced, analyzed, and demonstrated experimentally for the first time. This new line is referred to as GapCPW. Closed-form expressions for its characteristic impedance and effective permittivity are derived using traditional conformal mapping techniques. Eigenmode simulations using finite-element analysis are then performed to assess its low dispersion and loss characteristics. The proposed line demonstrates an effective suppression of the substrate modes in fractional bandwidths up to 90%. In addition, simulations show that a reduction of up to 20% of the dielectric loss can be achieved with respect to the traditional CPW. These features depend on the dimensions of the line. The paper concludes with the fabrication of a prototype and validation of the simulation results in the W band (75–110 GHz).

    New coplanar waveguide based on the gap waveguide technology
    (IEEE, 2021) Biurrun Quel, Carlos; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    A new planar waveguide, coined Inverted coplanar gap waveguide is presented. The concept of gap waveguides and parallel plate suppression between perfect magnetic and a perfect electric conductors is applied to coplanar waveguides in order to create a low-dispersion, low-loss transmission line. The combination of an artificial magnetic conductor and channelized top cover allow the propagation of an even coplanar mode with a strong component propagating over the air while solving encapsulation matters without the use of metallic vias. The main theory behind this new concept is presented and supported by FEM simulations on a commercial software package.
