Publication Open Access Low profile THz periodic leaky-wave antenna(IEEE, 2014) Beaskoetxea Gartzia, Unai; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Rodríguez Ulibarri, Pablo; Etayo Salinas, David; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Zehar, Mokhtar; Blary, Karine; Chahadih, Abdallah; Han, Xiang-Lei; Akalin, Tahsin; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this work, a 0.566THz flat leaky-wave antenna, consisting of a central λ0/2 slot surrounded by straight parallel wedge corrugations, is numerically and experimentally analyzed. Simulations show a moderately high gain and no significant differences when compared with a typical square corrugation profile. Numerical comparison is also made for the designed and manufactured antennas. High transmission enhancement in the corrugated case is obtained, compared to that given by a single central slot with no grooves. This kind of antennas finds several applications in different frequency ranges, including the nowadays high-interest range of the THz.Publication Open Access Low-sidelobe-level millimeter-wave asymmetric bull's eye antenna with minimal profile feeding(IEEE, 2024) Navarro Cía, Miguel; Beaskoetxea Gartzia, Unai; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenBull’s eye antennas exhibit remarkable directivity considering their low profile, albeit accompanied by high sidelobes. This undesirable radiation characteristic is tackled here by reporting a complementary split ring feeding whereby the broadside space-wave partially responsible for the high sidelobes is cancelled while the leaky wave is excited effectively. This feeding results in an asymmetric bull’s eye antenna with minimal profile (∼ 0.73λ0) and no protrusions on the radiating interface. The fabricated 10-period antenna operating in the Ka-band shows a directivity of 23.5 dBi, a sidelobe level of −22.9 dB (>6 dB improvement compared to other bull’s eye antennas) and a beamwidth of 3.7◦ and 6.7◦ in the E- and H-plane, respectively.Publication Open Access Broadband frequency and angular response of a sinusoidal bull’s eye antenna(IOP Publishing, 2016) Beaskoetxea Gartzia, Unai; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaA thorough experimental study of the frequency and beaming angle response of a metallic leaky-wave bull’s eye antenna working at 77 GHz with a sinusoidally corrugated profile is presented. The beam scanning property of these antennas as frequency is varied is experimentally demonstrated and corroborated through theoretical and numerical results. From the experimental results the dispersion diagram of the n = −1 and n = −2 space harmonics is extracted, and the operation at different frequency regimes is identified and discussed. In order to show the contribution of each half of the antenna, numerical examples of the nearfield behavior are also displayed. Overall, experimental results are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with theoretical and numerical calculations. Finally, an analysis of the beamwidth as a function of frequency is performed, showing that it can achieve values below 1.5° in a fractional bandwidth of 4% around the operation frequency, which is an interesting frequency-stable broadside radiation.
