Substrate Integrated Waveguide Antenna Array

A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot full-array antenna fabricated employing printed circuit board technology. The SIW slot full-array antenna using either single or multi-layer structures greatly reduces the overall height and physical steering requirements of a mobile antenna when compared to a conventional metallic waveguide slot array antenna. The SIW slot full-array antenna is fabricated using a low-loss dielectric substrate with top and bottom metal plating. An array of radiating cross-slots is etched in to the top plating to produce circular polarization at a selected tilt-angle. Lines of spaced-apart, metal-lined vias form the sidewalls of the waveguides and feeding network.

Antenna system and method to transmit cross-polarized signals from a common radiator with low mutual coupling

A dual-port IBOC® antenna provides omnidirectional radiation of orthogonal, circularly polarized analog (FM) and digital (OFDM) signals using quadruple coplanar square loops driven from a hybrid having balanced outputs. The loops are arranged in a tiled square, with proximal sides functioning as further stripline hybrids to cancel cross coupling between the loops. Each loop quad is reflector-backed and emits a directional signal; multiple loop quads oriented radially form an omni bay. Vertical spacing between bays includes a minimum position for mutual coupling, while symmetry establishes uniform input impedance on the hybrid input ports. Tuning barbs on the loops fine tune frequency response. Bandwidth is wide, so that a single antenna can radiate multiple FM analog and hybrid IBOC® channels over the VHF FM radio broadcast band.
