Dual-Band Circularly Polarized Transmitarray Antenna for Satellite Communications at (20 to 30) GHz

Juan Ramon Mosig, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva, Santiago Capdevila Cascante, Hamed Hasani

A novel dual-band polarization-independent transmitarray is introduced in this paper for communication systems in Ka-band. Thanks to its unit-cell topology, the transmitarray antenna demonstrates almost complete independent performance at two design freque ...

Design of Full-Metal Polarizing Screen Based on Circuit Modeling

Maria Garcia Vigueras

A polarizing sheet based on a fully metallic structure is here reported for the first time. The polarizer consists of a doubly-periodic arrangement of squared-wave guide sections enclosed by two perforated screens. Though the waveguide sections are highly ...

Cost-effective dual-polarised leaky-wave antennas enabled by three-dimensional printing

Juan Ramon Mosig, Emile Jacques de Rijk, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Esteban Menargues Gomez

This study proposes a compact dual-polarised directive radiator whose complex prototyping is enabled by additive manufacturing. In addition to monolithic implementation, stereolitography followed by metal coating, it also provides high radio-frequency perf ...

Stereolithography-Based Antennas for Satellite Communications in Ka-Band

Juan Ramon Mosig, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

This paper illustrates the role of additive manufacturing (AM) as enabling technology to realize high-performance low-cost antennas for Ka-band applications. In addition to the inherent electromagnetic challenges implicit in the conception of such complex ...

3D-printed Ka-band Antenna Based on Stereolithography

Juan Ramon Mosig, Tomislav Debogovic, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

This paper presents a circularly-polarized dual-band antenna for Ka-band satellite communications which operates simultaneously in both civil and military downlink (17.7-21.2 GHz) and uplink (27.5-31 GHz) bands. The antenna is composed of a metallic ridged ...

Simplified Modal Expansion to Analyze Frequency-Selective Surfaces: An Equivalent Circuit Approach

Juan Ramon Mosig, Maria Garcia Vigueras

This communication extends a previously reported analytical circuit that models the plane wave scattering by 2-D arrays of planar patches/apertures embedded in a layered media. In this extension, it is assumed that the current/electric field spatial profil ...
