Abstract
In this paper, two compact antennas in Ridge Gap Waveguide (RGW) technology, working at 60 GHz, with a high-purity circular polarization (CP) within a broad bandwidth are manufactured and measured. The antennas are fed from the bottom plane with a WR-15 waveguide (V-band), which couples the wave to the RGW. CP is generated in a simple and effective way, by means of two orthogonal feeder arms that excite a CP in a diamond-shaped slot on top. A broadband matching with reflection coefficient magnitude below -10 dB (S-11 < -10 dB) is achieved from approximately 60.3 to 69.6 GHz (> 9 GHz). Applying the axial ratio criterion (AR < 3dB) the bandwidth in CP is 14.48%, with respect to the central frequency (59 to 70 GHz). The maximum gain in both designs is obtained at 67 GHz, with a value of 5.49 and 11.12 dB respectively.
