Item Low-profile corrugated feeder antenna(2005) Beruete, M.; Campillo, I.; Dolado, J. S.; Rodriguez-Seco, J. E.; Perea, E.; Falcone, F.; Sorolla, M.; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; POWER SYSTEMS; DIGITAL ENERGYA very low-profile planar rectangular horn antenna made of a subwavelength aperture surrounded by two grooves on the conducting plate is presented. This structure exhibits good return losses and radiated beam. Its operation is based upon enhanced transmission and beaming through apertures in metallic corrugated plates. Here, the corrugated structure is designed to operate in microwaves and, moreover, a waveguide flange, which has been properly mechanized in the rear part of the structure, is employed for excitation. A new very low-profile planar feeder with reduced size is introduced that could be properly scaled for potential wireless applications.Item Very low-profile "bull's eye" feeder antenna(2005) Beruete, M.; Campillo, I.; Dolado, J. S.; Rodríguez-Seco, J. E.; Perea, E.; Falcone, F.; Sorolla, M.; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; POWER SYSTEMS; DIGITAL ENERGYIn this letter, a very low-profile planar horn antenna is proposed. It consists of a subwavelength aperture placed into a "Bull's Eye" concentric periodic corrugated conducting plate that produces good return losses and a narrow radiated beam. The antenna is excited by means of a waveguide whose flange has been properly mechanized in the rear part of the structure. The mechanism explaining this phenomenon is similar to the enhanced transmission observed at optical wavelengths in similar structures. In this work, the circularly corrugated structure has been scaled into the microwave frequency range and, moreover, the plane wave excitation has been replaced by a subwavelength aperture excited by a conventional closed metallic waveguide. This transforms the original focusing structure into a new concept of a very low-profile feeder with potential applications.
