TOLPA (Tripod Omnidirectional Low Profile Antenna): a vertically polarized antenna with 90% bandwidth

Jean-François Zürcher

A new vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna, inspired by an old design, has been studied, optimized, realized and measured. With a radiation pattern similar to the classical monopole on a ground plane, the proposed antenna concept provides a much la ...

A Low-Loss Planar Ka-Band Antenna Subarray for Space Applications

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-François Zürcher, Rafal Glogowski

This paper presents the design, optimization, and experimental characterization of a planar antenna subarray for space applications. The proposed component is intended to be used as a building block for a large Ka-band antenna systems. It is a one-dimensio ...

Ka-Band Rectangular Waveguide to Suspended Stripline Transition

Juan Ramon Mosig, Jean-François Zürcher, Rafal Glogowski

A Ka-band transition between a rectangular waveguide and a suspended stripline (SSL) is proposed. It uses a configuration in which the SSL substrate is perpendicular to the waveguide main axis. A patch printed on the SSL substrate is used to match the char ...
