In this study, a high-gain broadband circularly polarized crossed dipole antenna is designed. This antenna utilizes two pairs of cross dipoles and a pair of phase delay lines to form circularly polarized radiation. Open-circuit stubs are symmetrically loaded on the four arms of these dipole pairs to introduce new circularly polarized resonating frequencies. Additionally, a symmetrically positioned rectangular ring patch is introduced directly beneath the cross dipoles to generate the third circularly polarized resonating frequency, thereby enhancing the axial ratio bandwidth of the antenna symmetrically. Furthermore, metal posts are symmetrically loaded at the four right angles of the rectangular ring patch to augment the antenna gain, maintaining the overall symmetrical balance crucial for optimal circularly polarized radiation performance. This symmetric design ensures that the antenna achieves a 3dB axial ratio bandwidth of 29.2% (1.9–2.55 GHz) and sustains a gain of 7.5 dB within the passband, showcasing excellent circularly polarized radiation attributes.

This article proposes a novel method for calculating radar cross-sections (RCSs) that combines the spectral element method and the integral method, allowing for RCS calculations at any position in a free space or a half-space. This approach replaces the field source with an incident field using the scattered field equation of the spectral element method, enabling the arbitrary placement of the field source without being limited by the computational domain. By applying the superposition theorem and the volume equivalence principle, the scattered field of the objects at any position is obtained through integral equations, eliminating limitations on the computation points imposed by the computational domain. Based on Green’s function’s important role throughout the calculation process and its symmetry properties, the RCS calculation of symmetric models will be more advantageous. Finally, several examples, including symmetry models, are provided to validate both the feasibility and accuracy of this proposed method. Full article

This paper presents a computer-simulation-based design of an in-line, coaxial-to-circular waveguide adapter for converting the coaxial transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode to the circular waveguide TE11 mode over more than a one-octave bandwidth. The proposed adapter consists of a coaxial-to-rectangular waveguide transformer employing a stepped-ridge converter and a rectangular-to-circular waveguide transformer employing a curved transition. The proposed adapter has been optimized using a commercial simulation tool. The dimensions of the designed adapter are given so that it can be verified by anyone who is interested. The designed adapter operates from 8.00 GHz to 22.95 GHz (2.87:1 bandwidth) with a reflection coefficient of less than −20 dB and a higher-order mode level of less than −25.0 dB. Full article
