    A Chebyshev transformer-based microstri-to-groove-gap-waveguide inline transition for MMIC packaging
    (IEEE, 2019) Pérez Escudero, José Manuel; Torres García, Alicia E.; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Ederra Urzainqui, Íñigo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    The gap waveguide technology has become an alternative to millimeter- and submillimeter-wave electronic circuit packaging thanks to the loss reduction associated with its use. In this paper, a simplified design of an inline transition between a microstrip and a groove gap waveguide (GGW) operating at the W-band is presented. The transition consists of a tapered microstrip line and a Chebyshev adapter that couple the quasi-TEM mode of the microstrip line to the so-called vertical mode of the GGW. The simplicity of this design makes this transition appropriate for monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) packaging at millimeter frequencies and above. The simulation results have been experimentally validated in the W-band. A good performance has been achieved, resulting in a return loss better than 10 dB and a mean insertion loss lower than 2 dB.

    A simplified design inline microstrip-to-waveguide transition
    (MDPI, 2018) Ederra Urzainqui, Íñigo; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Pérez Escudero, José Manuel; Torres García, Alicia E.; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    A simplified design of an inline transition between microstrip and rectangular waveguide is presented in this paper. The transition makes use of a dielectric filled rectangular waveguide (DFRW) as an intermediate step, which simplifies manufacturing and allows for an analytical design. The behavior of the transition has been experimentally validated in the W-band by means of a back-to-back configuration. Good performance has been achieved: a return loss greaterthan 10 dB and mean insertion loss lower than 1 dB.

    Ku band low profile asymmetric Bull’s-Eye antenna with reduced side lobes and monopole feeding
    (IEEE, 2018) Beaskoetxea Gartzia, Unai; Torres García, Alicia E.; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    In this paper, a linearly polarized low profile and asymmetric Bull’s-Eye leaky wave antenna fed by a monopole operating at 13 GHz is presented. Broadside radiation from the monopole is achieved by surrounding it with an asymmetric array of semicircular metallic strips on a grounded dielectric slab. With this implementation we demonstrate high gain with a weight of less than 80 g and lower side lobe levels compared to previous designs fed by a resonant slot. The measured antenna shows an experimental gain of 19.4 dBi with only 5 periods and a side lobe level of −16 dB (−20.3 dB for the numerical ideal case at f = 12.6 GHz), along with a narrow 6º beamwidth

    Design of a groove gap waveguide to microstrip inline transition
    (IEEE, 2019) Pérez Escudero, José Manuel; Torres García, Alicia E.; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Ederra Urzainqui, Íñigo; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    In this paper the design of an inline transition between microstrip and groove gap waveguide operating at Wband is presented. The transition consists of two sections: a tapered microstrip line and a Chebyshev transformer. The simplicity of this design makes this transition appropriate for MMIC packaging at millimeter frequencies and above. Experimental validation has been carried out in theW-band. Good performance has been achieved: return loss better than 10 dB and mean insertion loss lower than 2 dB.
