Abstract

Microstrip antennas offer several advantages, including small size, easy fabrication, controllable polarity and radiation patterns, and easy integration with other components. These qualities make microstrip antennas more reliable than other antenna types. However, they also have limitations, such as lower radiation efficiency and narrow bandwidth, primarily due to the thin substrate thickness. Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is a type of microstrip antenna. SIW antennas come in two forms: one with a rectangular shape, typically designed as a slot, and the other in the form of a horn. However, SIW slot antennas face challenges with narrow impedance bandwidth due to the thin substrate, unlike conventional bulky hollow waveguides. The half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) slot antenna, which is a 50% miniaturized version of the SIW slot antenna, also suffers from reduced fractional bandwidth, resulting from the miniaturization and the thin substrate. This paper focuses on enhancing the bandwidth of HMSIW antennas by incorporating a demi-hexagonal ring slot. The broadband impedance bandwidth simulation (27.36%) is achieved through triple resonance frequencies to address the issue of narrow impedance bandwidth. Both the simulation results and measurements show consistency, with the measured impedance bandwidth ranging from 8.91 to 12.62 GHz (34.46%), demonstrating at least triple resonance frequencies.

Abstract

This paper presents a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switch that is integrated with a thin rectangular patch switchable defected ground structure (DGS). It is a novel technology for obtaining wideband and high isolation for the SPDT switch in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) telecommunications due to the usage of switchable DGS with bandstop and bandwidth enhancement capabilities. A wideband and high isolation are required for the switchable DGS SPDT switch to operate optimally in mm-wave frequency ranges, as well as to reduce the effect of leakage signal on both the transmitter and receiver connected to the SPDT switch and hence improve system efficiency and signal integrity. The SPDT switch design was combined with two small rectangular patches switchable DGSs that could switch between bandstop and allpass responses using biasing diodes on the DGS. As a result, the suggested SPDT switch with the switchable DGS had 6 dB of insertion loss and high isolation of more than 25 dB with wideband isolation of 25.24% fractional bandwidth, which was consistent with the simulation results. Furthermore, the isolation magnitude is doubled compared to the conventional SPDT switch. This work demonstrates that integrating switchable DGS into discrete SPDT switches provides a practical solution for realizing wideband, high-isolation performance suitable for 5G mm-wave where compactness and bidirectional reconfigurability is increasingly essential for sustainable RF front-end systems.
